El Cotillo Piedra Playa Cliff Landslides Warning

The Ayuntaniento of La Oliva (Town Hall) has put up signs at the southern end of Piedra Playa warning of the danger from a cliff landslides.

There have been a number of cliff landslides over the years between southern end of Piedra Playa (Surfers’ Beach) and the next beach, which is really only accessible at low tide. This means walking under the cliffs to get there.

I took the photo below in October 2012 after some heavy rain. This obviously destablised the cliffs causing the cliff to breakaway. Eventually this lead to a cliff landslide.

I have been holidaying in Fuerteventura for over 30 years and first came to El Cotillo 17 years ago. I owned an apartment in El Cotillo for 10 years and now live with my wife, Sue, and dog, Jenson, just 5 miles away. El Cotillo is my favourite place in Fuerteventura.
