Interesting read, definitely somewhere I can see myself going for vacation. I see you touched on how beautiful the beach is, however can the beach be enjoyed by different age groups? Is nudity something you can expect to see regularly at the beach? Overall though would you recommend this place for young adults?
This beach is for everyone, couples and families. You will not see nudity here. There are beaches for just that, I did not include any in my review though 🙂 But yes, awesome place for young adults.
Awesome post and destination it sounds like a beautiful place to go for my next vacations. I never heard of this place before but I’m glad I found your post because I will now put it on my bucket list. Do you know if they talk in English also or if it is mostly German and Spanish? Thanks
The speak in all three languages 🙂 Morro Jable beaches are beautiful, and there is so much culture and beauty here. Thanks for visiting Beach Travel Destinations.
A great article which evoked fond memories of my first overseas holidays way back in 1966 to Tenerife in the Canary Islands! I still remember sunbathing on dark grey volcanic beach sand and sipping wine from a bottle of Marsala! Yes I would love to revisit the islands this time to Fuerteventura and Morro Jable looks to be an ideal place to stay. Thank you very much for bringing back memories of a beautiful holiday destination
You are very welcome. Yes, I too remember going to Tenerife, not so long ago. My next trip will be to Morro Jable. Another destination that has been on my bucket list 🙂 Thanks for checking out our Morro Jable Vacation Guide.
Another beautiful place. I always tell everyone I meet how nice it is to travel. There is so much beauty everywhere so limiting ourselves to one place we miss out. I have never heard of this place but I will be adding it to my list. You covered this so so much detail. This post provides everything I would want when traveling.
I love beaches, love good food and places that welcome tourist with open arms. The picture you selected show how unique this place is I will be suggesting this to my wife. We travel at least once a year out of the country and have some amazing places to go. This may very well become one of them. I know it’s hard with so many variations and peoples preference but do you have a rough estimate of just price for hotel, flight and one week, or package deals. Would help understand cost and how to plan.
Thanks for sharing.
Mario
Ok, I checked as if I were going from Dallas,TX. Which might be more expensive, if I am farther away than you. If you go to this link and put in your dates and city you are flying from, then you can get a good price estimate. For me, from Texas, for one week with hotel and airfare it was 2200.00. The price will vary depending on what city you are flying from. I know you and your wife would absolutely love it there. It is beautiful and the people are very friendly.
I love to travel very much.
The Canarias are on my “places to visit” list.
I have been to Spain twice and I was captivated by its beautiful nature. I visited Madrid and Barcelona several years ago.
Your article is the ultimate guide to the Canary Islands. This beach seems like heaven.
Now I read it I can hardly wait to go there.
Yes, it is paradise Asen, and one of those places every person should experience for true beauty and relaxation. Then of course Morro Jable has amazing beaches.
Also, you can get a boat from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote and vice-versa, I used to do it almost daily, takes about 35 minutes…
Neil
Yes, you can Neil. That is what makes it so nice I think, to be able to visit more than one island and explore and discover them all in one vacation! Thanks for reading about Morro Jable.
This place looks amazing and the weather year round is oh so perfect. Your site is making wish I lived somewhere a lot warmer. I love the beach, but find it hard to justify a trip because of the large crowds that beaches draw in. Do you have any recommendations in North America that are less populated, but don’t break the bank either?
I am going to stick with Florida, there are a lot of beaches that just don’t get that crowded. I have been to Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, and the Destin area all during summer months and they are not bad. Anytime but the end of May thru the beginning of June will be the busiest. What is nice about Florida is that it is very inexpensive to visit, especially if you stay on the Gulf of Mexico side. The East coast of Florida is considerably more expensive. Texas beaches are also pretty in expensive, but I stay away during summer months again, as they are busy.
Hi Leahrae, great read, I worked in Fuerteventura and Lanzarote for some considerable time when I was younger…and my parents lived there for a good number of years…beautiful place…time for me to go back!
Thank you…
Neil
Wow, how nice 🙂 Lanzarote is very nice as well. I like Morro Jable, because you can easily go over to Tenerife or Gran Canaria if you want. And yes, very beautiful place with beautiful beaches.
Wow. so much information that I won’t even need to have a look at another website on my next trip to a beach. I’ll definitely check you posts on Australia cause at the moment I don’t have enough money for the whole trip to Europe, but I’m getting ready for a roadtrip all over Australia and was glad to find your website! Everything I need all in one place, thank you!
I am glad I was able to provide you everything you need. Did you know that the Canary Islands are actually very cheap to vacation to? Other than the plane ticket, and that depends on where you are flying from.
I saw your travel guide for Sarasota FL. It looks beautiful! I’ve been to Florida a couple times and love the sunny, warm weather. The photos you provided were very inviting! The layout of your website seemed pretty easy. Almost too much to take in. I’d love to move there with my kids. Are there any all-inclusive resorts in Sarasota?
You know, I looked for one and I could not find an all-inclusive hotel in Sarasota. Now, I am going to look further and I will let you know. What did you think of Morro Jable?
Hi there, awesome post! I got so refreshed after reading this post and seeing the images. Really gets my interest and I feel as if I was there.
I will have a long trip for my vacation soon. I was searching for the perfect vacation spot, and this is it!
I am glad I found your website, I will come back for more information for my Trips.
Thank you so much Maun, and I am glad I could help you decide where to go. Morro Jable beaches are wonderful, as well as the rest of the Canary Islands.
Leahrea, I’ve never been to the Canary Islands, let alone to Morro Jable, but your detailed description of the facilities has made it a very appealing holiday destination for us. In an ideal world, it would be lovely to fly to Fuerteventura and then use the catamaran for the transfer to Morro Jable – that would be my favourite transport from the main island, as I imagine you would get a feel of the lovely sea and of the dramatic coastal and island views straightaway. In an ideal world, I said. Because unfortunately my husband does not fly, and it would be a long swim from the Portuguese coast all the way to the islands (!!!). Unless you tell me that there is a ferry line joining Portugal to Canary Islands? It would be interesting to know.
Thank you Leahrae, most interesting post!!
You know what, there is a ferry going to Gran Canaria from Portugal and then you can take a direct ferry from Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura. Stay a while in both places. You’ll love it!
Hi, there looks like a great place to visit!
I heard about it through a friend and thought, why not Google it.
Found your site and was impressed by the detailed info you have here.
I have checked a couple of your other posts and discovered other places I just might visit!
Thank you so much and keep these posts coming!
Anis
You will love Morro Jable. The island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands is a beautiful place to visit year round. And from Morro Jable it is easy to visit some of the other island of the Canaries as well.
You got me interested when I saw the picture of this beautiful beach but the way you have described the place, it made it to my bucket list. What would be the best time of the year to visit there?
I am glad you like Morro Jable. Really, you can go here anytime of year. It doesn’t get below 68 degrees anytime of year, so is always sunny and warm.
My word – I’ve been there! We used to have a time share on Fuerteventura and have visited Morro Jable many times. I love the island and the area you have reviewed is amazing. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. The last time we flew out of the airport there, my 3 year old daughter fell in the play area inside departures just as we were called for our flight – turned out she fractured her arm and we had something of an uncomfortable flight home with a very unhappy girl! Don’t think the other passengers were too impressed either! Have you been there too?
Oh I bet they weren’t LOL but poor little girl. Depending on where home is, it might have been a long flight. Took me 24 hours to get there, but to Tenerife which is just as beautiful! But you are right, the Canary Islands, and of course Fuerteventura is wonderful. Morro Jable has an beautifule beach!
Sounds like a beautiful place to enjoy what life has best to offer: sunny beaches, extraordinary views, and gastronomical cuisine! Are the prices expensive here?
I would really like to visit the Canary Islands. Morro Jable is the type of place I like when on vacation: peaceful ambiance and relaxing activities.
Thanks for providing and exhaustive list of restaurants worth visiting. I always wonder where to go for a good meal and want to avoid tourist traps. Also, It’s good to know that it’s close enough to take a ferry and go visit the continent.
Hi, this sounds like a lovely place if you want to go for a sun and beach holiday. Is there anything else to do apart from surfing? Any history or interesting buildings or culture that should be checked out? 🙂
Being in Europe it’s not too far or complicated travel for my family.
Thanks, Cat
Not a lot as it is still a fishing village. It is very quiet and quaint. You would want to see the lighthouse though, which is situated at the edge of the beach. Yes, a lot of Europeans travel to the Canary Islands. Thanks for reading the Morro Jable Vacation Guide.
Yes, the food in the Canary Islands is wonderful. I tried so many new things, my favorite being Paella and Octopus of all things. And, no you would be surprised how inexpensive it is here. Especially at restaurants. Thanks reading and glad you enjoyed!
