Restaurante Mirador de Sotavento

To the south of Costa Calma is the huge Playa de Sotavento, which stretches for about 12 miles (20km) towards the neighbouring resort of Morro Jable. This beach can get quite breezy, so it is usually popular among windsurfers. There is even a large wind farm situated nearby. An extinct volcano, Pico de Zarza, overlooks Sotavento beach to create a stunning and memorable scene. Some holidaymakers attempt to walk from Costa Calma to Morro Jable. If you want to try this, allow yourself plenty of time and go prepared. Take lots of water, some food and sunscreen. Fortunately though, there is a reliable bus service between the two resorts, so you do not have to walk back. Alternatively, a taxi ride from Morro Jable costs about 16 euros.
