Flag Beach — known locally as El Burro — is the most famous wingfoil and watersports beach in Corralejo. This long stretch of golden sand just south of town catches the North-East trade wind perfectly and has been the heart of Fuerteventura's wind community for decades. Here is everything you need to ride it.
Flag Beach sits on the east-facing coast a few minutes south of Corralejo town, at the edge of the natural dune park. Easy parking, a long beach and a relaxed vibe make it the default meeting point for wingfoilers. It is one of several top Corralejo spots.
The prevailing NE trade wind blows cross-shore to side-on at Flag Beach — safe and convenient for self-rescue. It typically delivers 15-25 knots, building through the afternoon. For the seasonal picture see the Corralejo wind guide.
Water state changes with the tide: flatter and easier at high tide, more open and choppy at low tide. The mix suits improvers and advanced riders, with enough space to spread out. Total beginners are usually better starting on the flat-water lagoon — see our beginner guide.
