Located in the south of Fuerteventura, Puerto de Gran Tarajal is home to both leisure yachts and fishing boats within its 170 moorings. Found in the small village of the same name and with a strong fishing spirit, the tranquillity of its waters is thanks to the protection provided by the local terrain. The dock offers a 'travelift', crane and slipway, while the pontoons have electricity and drinking water. There are also washrooms available to all users of the marina.

The harbour at Morro Jable, in the south of Fuerteventura, is the closest to the neighbouring island of Gran Canaria. There is a fuel dock to supply the many vessels that make use of its 290 moorings, which are suitable for boats up to 35 metres. With a water depth of five metres, services at Morro Jable Harbour include a 'travelift', slipway and café. There is also a regular ferry service taking passengers across to Gran Canaria.

On the east coast of Fuerteventura, less than ten minutes from Puerto del Rosario and the airport is the small El Castillo harbour in Caleta de Fuste.

A selection of water-based activities are offered in the harbour, such as jet ski rentals, submarine excursions and scuba diving classes.

Located in Puerto del Rosario, in the east of the island, the harbour and port of Fuerteventura’s capital is mainly devoted to commercial shipping and ferries but it also provides berthing and anchorage. The 60 berths accomodate boats up to 12 metres with drafts of up to five metres and is situated opposite the main commercial dock. This is one of the best equipped harbours to deal with technical problems on the island, as it has mechanical and electronic repair services on the dock itself.

With a maximum depth of 14 metres, this is an easy dive, suitable for all levels. Its small rock formations do not exceed one metre in height, but among the multitude of nooks and crannies there are many species such as stingrays, moray eels or catalufas.

This dive is located in front of the Caleta de Fuste pier where you will find a reef that is home to a variety of species native to this seabed.

This dive is a short boat trip from the Caleta de Fuste pier. The effort will be worth it, as a short distance away we find a rocky-sandy seabed, with little current and protected from the waves. You can also see some ship remains.

The Veril Chico is located next to the Veril Grande, both very similar, where you can dive along a large rock face. Being the smallest dive, it is best enjoyed at leisure, giving yourself time to explore all the crevasses and ledges.

This art centre has an unassuming exterior but the interior is special with a balcony on the first floor with a panoramic view of the port of Puerto del Rosario. The gallery pays homage to the modernist painter from Fuerteventura who was a great exponent of surrealism and avant-garde poetry until his death in 1981. In addition to the modernist painter, there is work from contemporary artists from the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. There are different exhibition halls with permanent and temporary exhibitions. In the learning institute art workshops and conferences are organised.

It’s unusual for a cemetery to be surrounded by the ocean. This resting place for the dead has been integrated seamlessly into the sand and stones of the local area. In the doorway there are some memorial objects and a plaque counting the deceased. The beauty of the area makes it easy to see why the native inhabitants of Fuerteventura chose the beach as a cemetery. During the 19th century, the first inhabitants lifted corpses on to the backs of camels and transported them in a funeral procession for about 40km to arrive at the beach cemetery.
