Spot de Cotillo Lagos / Toston Lagoon

Cotillo Lagos / Toston Lagoon

Cotillo Lagos / Toston Lagoon

Overview

Cotillo Lagos (also known as Toston Lagoon) is a small, beautiful flat water lagoon located just below the El Toston lighthouse, north of El Cotillo village on Fuerteventura's northwest coast.

The lagoon is shallow (~1m deep) with a white sandy bottom and crystal-clear turquoise water. When the wind blows and the water level is sufficient, it's a miniature flat water paradise — perfect for freestyle practice in a stunning setting.

The space is very limited, so only a handful of kiters can ride at once. The surrounding area is rocky, making entry and exit a challenge.

Very limited space: only a few kites can fit. Kiteloops and big jumps are risky.

Rocky surroundings: sharp volcanic rocks around the lagoon. Getting in/out of the water requires care. Reef boots essential.
