Matorral Beach

Matorral Beach is a beach on Fuerteventura, one of the eastern islands of the Canary Islands (Spain). It is also known as Playa de Jandia for being on the southern coast Jandia, which encompasses the entire peninsula southwest of the island of Fuerteventura.
Part of the Jandia beach stretches from the tip of the scrub to the beach at Morro Jable, east of the town of Morro Jable on the south side of the Jandia peninsula, south of the Canary island of Fuerteventura.
Sand is fine and white, and the beach has a length of about 12 kilometers and an average width of 300 meters. Its clean water allows several water sports to take place and are ideal for swimming. The prevailing wind is favorable for practices such as windsurfing for which there are several schools and rental charts. Diving can be practiced in two well-delimited areas: The Veril Grande, on the stretch of coast in front of the lighthouse and Morro Jable in Veril Chico.

Sea and wind conditions allow the practice of various water sports.  Access to the beach can be done easily on foot or by car from Morro Jable or access is on the main road (Route of the Dunes). There are numerous hotels and resorts and the beach can be enjoyed without the crowds.

The lighthouse not only serves as a warning to those who sail its coasts, but also serves as a division between the nude beach area and the area of non-nudist beach.  North of the lighthouse are nudists and south, in the section near to Morro Jable, non-nude.  There are posts for rescue and surveillance and its waters have moderate waves.
Each year it gains the Blue Flag by the European Foundation for Environmental Education Grants for the quality of its services and optimum environmental conditions.

Salad Jandia

Saladar of Matorral Beach (Fuerteventura). In 1997 a project was launched Life in recovery.   This is an area of coastal scrub that is designated as a protected natural area since 1994, according to the Law of Natural Areas of the Canary Islands, with a total protected area of 115.6 hectares. The purpose of this statement is to conserve the best representation of a coastal ecosystem.
Known popularly as Saladar Jandia is a plant community that supports periodic flooding caused by the tide. The main difficulty that the plants have to overcome is the enormous concentration of salt absorbed. This problem has been solved by storing large amounts of water in thick leaves decreasing the percentage of salt. Another resource used is secreted by tiny glands arranged along the leaves. The soils are composed mainly of silt and clay and are fine-grained and very compact due to successive floods.
