These varied attractions help you choose a destination that suits your interests, with beaches and water alongside history, golf and Canarian cuisine.
Playa del Castillo: A Beach in a Bay
Playa del Castillo is located in a bay. The beach is known for its soft, golden sand and calm waters year-round. Sun loungers and parasols are available to rent; there are also parking spaces and bus and taxi stops. Rentals and other services may change in availability. If you plan to use them during your visit, it is best to check the latest information.
This gives you a clear point of reference for days by the water: alongside its location and features, rentals and transport stops are also part of what the beach offers. Whether you would like to combine a beach visit with other activities depends on which of the various options interest you.
Diving, Windsurfing and Other Water Activities
In Caleta de Fuste, a diving club runs boat trips for diving, and windsurfing lessons are also available. At Marina El Castillo, you can rent jet skis and enjoy other water activities. The availability of lessons, trips and rentals may change. If you are planning around a particular activity, check in advance that it is available.
A dive site of its own is El Castillo Negro, off the breakwater at Caleta de Fuste. It has a reef with large groupers and typical coastal species such as viejas, salemas and octopuses. Sightings of these animals on any individual dive are not guaranteed. The options are distinct: the diving club runs boat trips, while El Castillo Negro is described as a dive site with a reef and the species found there.
Coastal History Beside the Beach
Right beside the beach stands the Torre de San Buenaventura, also known as Castillo de Fuste. This small, circular fortification had two iron cannons to protect the coast. Alongside the beach and water sports, the fort offers a glimpse into the history of this stretch of coast: its cannons were used to defend the shoreline.
Golf Course and Landscape

Its landscape includes native vegetation, desert areas and several lakes; the bunkers are made of volcanic sand. If you are considering golf, you will find clear details here about both the type and size of the course and its landscape features.
