Heading south towards the Jandia Peninsula you'll arrive first at the tidy and top Fuerteventura family resort of Costa Calma. Costa Calma's edge over Caleta de Fuste is definitely it's long stretch of glorious sandy beach which spreads down to Playa Barca in the south west of the resort. Costa Calma is the beginning of the stretch of some of the best beaches on the Canary Islands, leading into Sotavento and beyond down the Jandia Peninsula. The difference between Costa Calma's fabulous golden sandy beach and Sotavento however is that it's much more sheltered and ideal as a family beach - safe sheltered bathing is on the menu here. There's also lots of space so if it's peace and quiet you're looking for on a Fuerteventura beach you can find it somewhere along the Costa Calma stretch, especially outside of the peak summer season.
Costa Calma is a pretty Fuerteventura resort too - it's been tastefully designed with streets lined with palm trees, and green space inbetween accommodation complexes. Accommodation is low built too, with lots of bungalow and studio styled apartment and apart-hotel complexes. It's popular with German holidaymakers down here!
A beach resort in every sense of the word, Costa Calma is a bustling character Fuerteventura resort with a superb family beach, nicely sheltered for safe bathing, that stretches for about 12 miles all the way from Costa Calma down to Morro Jable - this incorporates the most stunning beaches probably on all the Canary Islands, and includes the most stunning Fuerteventura Beach - Sotavento! Costa Calma's beach, including the Playa Barca stretch, is cleaned daily.
Crammed with accommodation, you'll navigate by accommodation rather than street names here in Costa Calma, although it certainly isn't an 'in your face' sort of Canaries resort. Care was obviously applied to the development of Costa Calma. There's some rather upmarket hotels in Costa Calma, and many accommodation complexes with all inclusive swimming pool and leisure facilities.
This Fuerteventura resort was somewhat of a late developer, only really taking off tourism wise from the mid 1980s. Its newness shows in it's tidy streets and pristine beach. Buried somewhere in the middle of Costa Calma is the original small village which it was constructed around - Canada Del Rio. The renowned green zone which runs the length of Costa Calma resort has much to do with the pleasantness of the place - you're likely to pass through this pine tree laden green space at some point if you're based in this Fuerteventura resort. Costa Calma is a long resort, rather than a deep one so you never feel overcrowded. Several small and unassuming shopping centres are dotted along the resort. Most of Costa Calma's activities are beach based.
There's a spot of reasonable windsurfing to be had here (although the best is further down at Sotavento where the winds are stronger). You'll find a scattering of surfing and windsurfing huts hiring out equipment along Costa Calma's beach. There's a good choice of all inclusive accommodation in Costa Calma, but if you're on a self catering run there's a reasonable choice of restaurants along the fast food line, and some great bars too. Costa Calma's beach is a good jogging beach by the way if you're into jogging. It's also a very popular resort with German visitors, and you might find that all inclusive accommodation tends to focus on German language entertainment.
