About Playa Beatriz

Caleta Beatriz is a small, isolated cove on the wild north coast of Fuerteventura in La Oliva municipality, between the El Cotillo lighthouse and the hamlet of Majanicho. It is about 200 metres long and 18 metres wide, with gravel and white sand framed by dark volcanic rock and low dunes. The shape of the coastline shelters it, so the water is often calm and clear enough for snorkelling, even though the coast around it is windy and seaweed sometimes washes in. Spain's national tourism site describes it as an unspoilt beach used by nude bathers, and the Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a nudist-tradition beach. Occupancy is low. There are no services nearby at all, so bring food, water and shade.

Getting there

Reached by unpaved dirt road along the north coast, either from the El Cotillo lighthouse heading east or from Majanicho heading west; a normal car can manage in dry conditions but drive slowly. Park near the cove and walk a short distance to the sand. No public transport. Not wheelchair accessible.

Legal context

Nudity is not prohibited on Spanish beaches; FEN lists Caleta Beatriz as a nudist-tradition beach and Spain.info notes its use by nudists. No formal designation (2026).

Naturism at Playa Beatriz sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
