Las Playitas

Las Playitas is a small coastal settlement on the eastern shore of Fuerteventura, within the wider region of the island’s south-eastern coastline. It retains the low-key character of a former fishing village, with a modest harbour and a scatter of low-rise buildings facing the Atlantic, offering a quieter alternative to the island’s larger resort towns.

The area’s setting is defined as much by its rugged coastal terrain as by the village itself. Nearby, the La Entallada Lighthouse stands on the exposed cliffs that mark this stretch of coast, a solitary landmark overlooking the sea and a reminder of the more remote, weather-worn nature of this part of Fuerteventura.

Together, the village and lighthouse give Las Playitas a character shaped by isolation and coastal exposure, appealing to those seeking a low-key base away from the island’s busier tourist centres.
