Its rich coastal areas are a haven for sun worshippers, beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts from around the world.
The island is on the same latitude as Florida and Mexico and daytime temperatures rarely fall below 20°C or rise above 30°C. Along its coastline, beaches are in abundance -- 50 kilometres of pristine fine white sand.
Fuerteventura is part of the province of Las Palmas and it is divided into six municipalities:
- Antigua
- Betancuria
