Parque Natural de Corralejo is a protected natural area located in the northern part of the island of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands in Spain. The park covers an area of 12,000 hectares and is known for its impressive sand dunes, crystal-clear waters, and stunning beaches.

The park's dunes are the most striking feature and are made of sand that has been eroded and carried from the Sahara Desert by the prevailing northeast winds. The dunes can reach up to 50 meters high and are constantly changing due to the wind and weather conditions. The sand is soft and golden, and visitors can walk or run up the dunes for breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The park is also home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including endemic and endangered species. Visitors can spot birds such as the houbara bustard and Egyptian vulture, as well as reptiles such as the Canarian lizard and Mediterranean house gecko. The waters surrounding the park are home to several species of fish, and visitors can enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, and other water sports.
