The supermarket, golf court and beach are all within walking distance (1km). But in case you don't want to walk, taxi fairs are rather cheap. Caleta centre beach has a gently sloping shore which makes for very safe bathing and this beach is the one most holidaymakers head for. But there is a south beach in front of the Atlantico shopping centre – reclaimed from the sea and landscaped into small bays. Landing at the airport, the first thing you are struck by is the stark, lunar-like landscape. But explore beyond that and you find vast sweeping sand dunes, lagoons, little fishing villages and isolated sandy coves. Caleta de Fuste is an ideal base for exploring this island being midway between north and south.
