Does the idea of relaxing on a sun bed get you all fidgety? Luckily the Canary Islands has a plethora of active pursuits that will get your pulse racing. In Playa Socorro, surfers in Tenerife will find plenty of waves to ride at this black-sand beach. On the northern coast between Puerto de la Cruz and Icod de los Vinos reliably powerful waves can often be found.
Playa Machado, just north of the main Playa El Mdano on the south-east coast, is also a good bet for water sports. With a laid-back atmosphere and plenty of cafes and bars, this golden beach is also popular among holidaying windsurfers and kiteboarders as well as the professionals, who compete here in championship events throughout the summer.
The beaches on Gran Canaria are almost unrivalled for an exhilarating water sports holiday. This is thanks in large part to the island's breezy weather conditions and consistently warm climate. This makes the area ideal for those that have caught the windsurfing bug.
Half an hour north from Maspalomas driving towards the airport you'll come across Pozo Izquierdo, where you can mingle with the pros. There are several schools here where you'll learn the basics of windsurfing as well as numerous hire shops, which rent out windsurfing kit to the already experienced as well as surf boards for those who fancy just getting out into the waves.
Land-loving sun worshippers will find plenty to enjoy in Fuerteventura, where a beach holiday doesn't have to entail splashing about in the sea. Get active with an early morning jog on the flat, compact sands of the Costa Calma beach in the south of the island or take in the scenery with a hike on the beaches of the Isle of Lobos, just a short half-hour boat ride from the busy tourist harbour of Corralejo on the northern coast. Boasting crystal clear waters and picturesque beaches, this small island plays host to thousands of varieties of winged creatures, from migrating birds to rare seabirds.
