There's a boat trip from the harbour to papagayo beach. You can get off and get another one back or just stay on for the round trip. It's about 15 euros if I remember right. Return trip is just over an hour.

thats just the job Robert

many thanks

You can also get a day in Correlejo Fuerteventura from the same place. Current special price is 25 Euros. It's being advertised in the Excursion Ticket Office window in the harbour.

The Papagayo trip is very nice. You can stay on the boat back to the harbour or get off at Papagayo, have some time on the beach before getting the boat back to the harbour. You can also pick up the same boat at Marina Rubicon.

The Papagayo trip is on the Princess Yaiza ...
