This is apparently because of a rare natural phenomenon created by tidal lagoons.

When the tide recedes, seawater gets trapped between the main beach and sandbanks, forming a second shoreline of golden sand.

The beach stretches for over nine kilometres (5.6 miles) and is known for its crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and endless open space.

This is because Sotavento is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, with many athletes coming from around the world.

The beach hosts the annual Fuerteventura Windsurfing and Kitesurfing World Championship because of its strong and consistent winds.

Snorkelling is also popular in calmer areas where the water remains exceptionally clear.

The beach is part of Jandía Natural Park, a protected area that plays an important role in preserving marine life and local ecosystems.

The tidal lagoon provides a safe habitat for fish and migratory birds.

Facilities are quite limited, with only a few food and drink kiosks available in the northern area near Costa Calma and at Risco del Paso in the south.

Getting to Sotavento requires a car, as the roads leading to the beach have unpaved sections.
