Tarajalejo is a small beach spot on the southeast coast of Fuerteventura, between Costa Calma and Gran Tarajal. It's a quiet, local spot with a small sandy beach and a fishing harbour.

The spot can work with various wind directions due to its southeast orientation. Conditions are typically flat to small choppy waves. Not a primary kite destination, but a useful alternative when conditions are better here than at the main spots.
