点评:From our base at Corralejo we had extended a day trip in our hire car via Betancuria to see what the beach at La Pared was like, never having visited it before.
Turning off the FV-605 we just followed a straight route along Avenue del Istmo, which was developed perhaps in anticipation of building a resort which hadn‘t quite happened as yet. For the time being there are roads, clusters of villas and a few surf schools - we didn’t see much else on the approach. We also didn’t know that, as the surfaced road turned into a very rough track, we were in fact arriving at a car park for Playa del Viejo Reyes. I use the term “car park” loosely however in reality it was just rough open ground at the top of a cliff. There were plenty of campervans parked up and people with their camping chairs set up to admire the setting sun. I can only imagine the interior of the vans were strewn with items thrown from shelves as they negotiated the “car park”.
Fortunately we hadn’t planned to spend too long here since by the time we arrived around 5pm the light was fading and the tide was coming in on the shore. This meant access to the beach was limited to a fairly narrow strip. Despite this there were still some surfers on the water. There are steps down to the beach but in the circumstances we decided to forgo venturing down them.
It appears that the tide comes right up to the cliff base and even when it’s out the sand is likely to be wet so less attractive to sit upon. The main appeal appears to be surfing borne out by those still on their boards as light faded and the number of surf references at the incomplete development in the vicinity.
I’m sure that if we had investigated we may have found somewhere for refreshments but these weren’t obvious. We headed back north for our 90 minute drive back to Corralejo.
There are many sandy, scenic beaches in Fuerteventura and this one would not be in our top 20.
翻译:从我们在科拉莱霍的基地出发,我们乘着租来的车经过贝坦库里亚,延长了一天的行程,去看看拉帕雷德的海滩是什么样子,我们以前从未去过那里。
离开 FV-605 后,我们沿着 Avenue del Istmo 笔直的路线行驶,这条路线可能是为建造一个度假村而开发的,但目前还没有建成。目前,那里有道路、别墅群和一些冲浪学校——我们在路上没有看到太多其他东西。我们也不知道,当铺好的路面变成一条非常崎岖的小路时,我们实际上是到达了 Playa del Viejo Reyes 的停车场。我随意使用了“停车场”一词,但实际上它只是悬崖顶部的粗糙空地。那里停着很多露营车,人们把露营椅摆在那儿欣赏落日。我只能想象,当他们驶过“停车场”时,货车内部散落着从货架上扔下来的物品。
幸运的是,我们没有计划在这里呆太久,因为当我们下午 5 点左右到达时,光线已经暗淡,潮水正在涌上岸。这意味着进入海滩的通道被限制在一条相当狭窄的地带。尽管如此,水上仍有一些冲浪者。有通往海滩的台阶,但在这种情况下,我们决定放弃冒险。
看来潮水正好涨到悬崖底部,即使退潮,沙子也可能是湿的,所以坐在上面不太有吸引力。主要的吸引力似乎是冲浪,因为随着光线变暗,那些仍然在冲浪板上的人以及附近未完成的开发中冲浪的次数都证明了这一点。
我相信,如果我们调查过的话,我们可能会找到一个可以休息的地方,但这些并不明显。我们向北返回,驱车 90 分钟返回科拉莱霍。
富埃特文图拉岛有许多沙质、风景优美的海滩,而这个海滩不会进入我们的前 20 名。
