Morro Jable, the furthest southern resort in Fuerteventura, competes well with its northern cousin Corralejo. Down from Sotavento, we're still in the land of stunning Fuerteventura beaches, and Playa del Matorral beach is the main hub with dividing lighthouse - naturists to the east or left as you look to the lighthouse from the promenade and non naturist to the right, unofficially speaking.
This Jandia resort is a long and pretty one, with an endless promenade stretching the length of the beach lined with a huge choice of relaxing bars, cafes, shops and restaurants. Morro Jable, and indeed all of this southern area of Fuerteventura is very popular with German visitors, although there's a scattering increasingly of British visitors too. A pleasant, tasteful family or watersports resort, Morro Jable makes a good base for Fuerteventura beach family holidays, or for visitors looking for activity holidays and wanting to hook into the many catamaran sailing trips, watersports and excursions available here.
Tourist development has been thoughtful here in Morro Jable on the Jandia Peninsula. It started life as a small fishing village, but has evolved from the mid-1980s into one of the most popular German holiday resorts on the planet! It's retained its fishing village roots however, particularly around the old town area and harbour where a few fishing vessels sit beside deluxe catamaran sailing boats serving visiting tourists. Extensions to the main motorway running south, now direct to Morro Jable, mean a quick transfer time of under an hour from Fuerteventura's airport.
Watersports are certainly on the menu in this bustling, yet relaxing Fuerteventura resort. It's easy to hook into a spot of windsurfing, jet ski, pedalo or a catamaran sailing trip along the Jandia Peninsula. Playa de Mattoral beach stretches in an easterly direction for about 4km so there's plenty of space on this beach - you're not likely to feel crowded. Development is set to continue in this Jandia Fuerteventura resort, with work afoot on extensions to the harbour and a new marina. The popular Magic Catamaran excursions depart from Morro Jable's harbour (see excursions section/Fuerteventura on this website for details). Magic Catamaran, Puerto de Morro Jable, Tel: 619 406904.

Most of the nightlife bustle is situated along the beachfront at Morro Jable, especially around the Cosmo Centro Commercial which has a number of pubs attached to it. There's a couple of discos in town, but in general nightlife is low key restaurant dining, and some live music bar scenes. No pumping clubs here.
Head for Cosmo Central Comercial on Avenida Saladar in Morro Jable for the popular Thursday Market held here weekly from 9am to 1.30pm (adjacent car park is available). Not much Canarian crafts here though, for that you'll have to head inland to the craft centres around Antigua and Betancuria.
