Holidays in Morro Jable

One of the larger resorts in the Canary Islands, Morro Jable is a town in the south of Fuerteventura situated on the Jandia peninsula. The modern town of Jandia merges with historic Morro Jable in a way that visitors are often unable to tell where one begins and the other ends.

Destinations to visit for Morro Jable holidays

Morro Jable has approximately 35 km of golden beaches along its coastline, the broadest section of which is that of Matorral Beach, home of the Matorral lighthouse, which is almost like several beaches wrapped into one. All of the beaches in the vicinity of Morro Jable are great for watersports such as wind surfing and the crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkelling and swimming. The Subcat-Balea (a hybird submarine) departs from the port at Morro Jable and dives some 30 meters. Visitors can also take a boat trip from the Morro Jable harbour to the island of Gran Canaria. A little further inland from Morro Jable is the 807 metre mountain of Pico de la Zarza. The mountain is located in the Parque Natural de Jandia which is a nature reserve where visitors can explore the island's indigenous flora and fauna.
