Audio Guide of Corralejo Dunes

Absolutely! The Corralejo Dunes are part of a Natural Park, so they are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can easily get there by car (there are clearly marked parking areas) or by public bus from Corralejo or Puerto del Rosario. For more details on how to get there, you can check this guide.

Here comes the good news! Access to the spectacular Corralejo Dunes is completely free. Enjoying this desert-like landscape by the Atlantic comes at no cost, so you can explore it at your own pace and without barriers. Enjoy!

For a relaxed exploration and to fully enjoy the vastness of the dunes, we recommend allowing between 2 and 4 hours. That gives you enough time to walk, take photos, and immerse yourself in the landscape without rushing. If you only want a short stroll, 1 hour will be enough, but we bet you’ll want to stay longer!

Absolutely! The Corralejo Dunes are of organic origin, formed by the breakdown of seashells and the action of the wind, not by sand from the Sahara as many people think. This Natural Park, covering more than 2,600 hectares, is a unique ecosystem protected for its high ecological and scenic value. A natural wonder in constant motion!

To avoid the crowds and enjoy milder temperatures, I recommend visiting the dunes early in the morning (sunrise is magical) or at sunset, when the colors are spectacular. As for the best time of year, spring and autumn offer ideal weather, with less wind than winter and without the intense summer heat. Get ready for some amazing photos!

The loose sandy terrain of the dunes can be challenging for wheelchairs or baby strollers. However, around the parking areas and along the FV-1 road, there are some accessible panoramic viewpoints. For a more comfortable experience, I suggest enjoying the views from the lookout points near the road.

Plenty! Right next to the dunes, you have the famous beaches of Corralejo, perfect for swimming or enjoying water sports. You also shouldn’t miss a trip to Lobos Island, a protected natural paradise. The town of Corralejo also offers vibrant nightlife, restaurants, and shops. You’ll have plans for several days!

Of course! Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the sand, bring sunscreen, a hat, and enough water to stay hydrated. If you go at sunset, don’t forget your camera—the colors are stunning! And remember, this is a Natural Park: respect the flora and fauna, don’t leave any litter, and if you have a rental car, park only in designated areas. Your experience will be unforgettable!
