Earlier in the week the kids and I sat down and planned out what we wanted to do while we were in Fuerteventura. The kids wanted to go to a few more days at Kids Club, play mini-golf and have another round at the water park. I wanted to take the bus in to town and explore the beach. We all decided that today would be that day.
Unfortunately the resort we are staying at is kind of at the end of the island. We are quite secluded out here. They do offer a twice daily bus shuttle into Lajares, the nearest town and then Carrelejo and the beach. I cannot miss up an opportunity to spend some time near the water on a sunny day so we set off, and I will say, this beach did not disappoint.
There is just something so soothing for me to be back on a beach. Particularly one as big as this with room to spread out. We didn’t have all our gear so we couldn’t set up for the kind of day we are used to, but we made the best of it. I made myself a sand chair and read for a bit. Charlie settled in and read as well. The girls made themselves right at home and built sand sculptures, buried each other and played in the waves. There will always be something magical about a beach to me. Nothing makes me appreciate our adventures more than being seaside. It instantly calms me and fills me with gratitude.








After a couple of hours at the beach it was time for lunch. We grabbed a cab into the city to check out the smaller beach and its beachside restaurants. I love grabbing a drink and a bite to eat while sitting in the sand, watching the people and listening to the water. We had a decent meal and headed to catch the bus back to the hotel. It was a really great day, probably my favourite of the trip so far. The only thing missing was Jacob.
