Things for children to do in Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura
Caleta de Fuste is a family friendly resort and there are lots of things to do with the kids, such as tiring them out in the various play areas that surround the town, or swimming, snorkelling or trying to catch fish in the clear safe waters. There are a host of other things to do that will help keep the youngsters amused too.
The beach
There are lots of things to keep children occupied in Caleta that don't cost much money! Fishing for example, if children wade just a yard into the sea the fish will swim around their feet. Children can either feed these with bread, or they can try to catch them. Children love this as the fish are tantalisingly close but are very difficult to catch. This can keep them occupied for hours. There are also many rock pools that children can explore too. If you cut the side off one of those large water bottles and put some bread in it is likely you can catch fish harmlessly this way.
Building sandcastles has always been a popular pastime and Caleta de Fuste's beach is perfect for this. Flying kites and playing beach volleyball are other popular activities, there is a fre pitchand there is plenty of other space for playing beach games.
Feeding Animals
Feeding other animals, especially the chipmunks, also provides amusement. The chipmunks along the path to Nuevo Horizonte, and up Chipmonk mountain are particularly cheeky, and will run up to you to take nuts or biscuits from your hand. While you are feeding the chipmunks collared doves and trumpeter finches invariably turn up for their share.
Other activities
In the centre of Caleta there are several play parks that children can enjoy. The one close to the, near the roundabout with the fountain has a sand floor and a particularly impressive climbing frame made from rope.
There are several amusement arcades, with the usual range of games that you would expect to find. All of these have internet access that is better value than that to be found in most of the hotels.
There are several mini golf courses dotted around the town. We don't think they will be holding the Spanish Open, but the people who play on them seem to enjoy themselves. Some of these are quite a challenge.
Some children may be interested in the skeleton of a whale that is to be seen at Las Salinas, a half hour walk south of the Atlantico Shopping centre. You can either walk there or go on the Caleta bus away from the airport direction. This is the terminus.
If you have children and would like a break from them then there is a childcare service in the town. See Caleta childcare
