Rapa Nui

Fuerteventura


This is a good choice on a sunny day (and there aren't few), with its lovely terrace and sea views. It runs the adjacent surf shop and serves sandwiches, snacks, ice cream (made on the premises), ace cocktails, coffee and full-on weekly barbecues to a primarily young and tanned surfing crowd. Daily surfing lessons are also on offer.
