Morro Jable Marina, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

Morro Jable used to be a sleepy fishing village until it was discovered by German tourists and now the towns  of Jandia and Morro Jable have grown so much that it is now difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins. The name is explained by Morro meaning headland and Jable meaning a coopers gouge. It is one of the largest tourist resorts on the island and provides the visiting yacht to this marina with a wide choice of bars and restaurants.  This part of Fuerteventura is known as Costa Calma because of its sheltered coast from the almost constant Northerly trade winds. The marina is close to the shops and the town centre.

Morro Jable marina seems to be under a constant renovation programme but it provides good shelter and is the last jump off point for yachts leaving Fuerteventura for Gran Canaria or other Canary Islands.
