Location

Where is Lobos Island (opposite Corralejo, Fuerteventura)

Lobos Island is a small island of just 4,5 km² located north of Fuerteventura, only about 2 km from the port of Corralejo. It sits in the Bocaina Strait, the channel that separates Fuerteventura from Lanzarote.

It's a protected Natural Park and, due to its small size, can be explored on foot in a day. The map below shows all its points of interest and the main route.
