Hello surfing families,
The question of whether surfing holidays and family holidays can be combined with one another no longer arises for so many families. For many, family surfing holidays have become the standard.
The real question is: which locations are best for surfing trips with kids?
The age of the children is an important criterion for choosing a location on a surf holiday. Especially with small children, it is important that the distance from the accommodation to the beach, next small supermarket, restaurant, ice cream parlor or playground is not too great.
I have two small children myself and I know that distances that you can cover as an adult in a few minutes with children can take half an hour or more.
The bay of Morro Jable and the small town are ideal for families with small children
I live in Morro Jable with my children.
The bay with the picturesque cliff and church tower, the long sandy beach and the small promenade is ideal for children.
Thanks to the mountains behind Morro Jable and the small cliff, Morro Jable beach is well protected from waves and wind. Here children can safely play, bathe and dig without being caught by strong waves or currents or getting sand in their eyes due to strong gusts of wind.
Behind the beach there is a small promenade with shops, where you can quickly buy an ice cream, go to the toilet and rinse the sand off your feet at the beach showers.
There are various well-kept and newly created playgrounds where the children of the locals mix with the children of the tourists and there is hustle and bustle until late in the evening.
The parents often sit in a nearby tapas bar while the children make friends with the local children.
The best accommodations for a surfing trip with children in Morro Jable
Our Alta Vista family apartments are only a few meters from the sea on the small hill above the village where the church of the village is. Good baby monitors reach from here down to the first fish restaurants on the promenade.
There is an elevator in the house so that you don't have to carry strollers up the stairs.
Seasonally we also arrange a family holiday home with a fantastic sea view up to the southern tip of Fuerteventura. The house is on several floors and has a beautiful terrace with sea views where you can end the evening with the family. The holiday home has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and washing machine, a cot, children's toys and much more.
Conclusion
Morro Jable is ideal for surfing trips with young children. Everything is only less than 200m apart, the picturesque bay, the sandy beach, the small beach promenade with restaurants and shops and the accommodations.
The children of the locals and tourists play together on the playgrounds in town, while the parents can end the day with a glass of wine in the tapas bar.
