La Pared and Fuerteventura’s west coast: go independently or by buggy?
Updated October 8, 2026 · 6 min read
For most visitors, drive to La Pared independently: the place rewards an unhurried beach walk, not a timed stop. If the driving is the attraction, choose the Costa Calma Buggy Safari: three hours, €99, 4.8 from 885 reviews. The shorter Can-Am trip costs €119 for two hours and explicitly includes views of La Pared and Ugán.
Tour – Our recommendation
Costa Calma Buggy Safari
La Pared faces the open Atlantic. That makes the surf and sunset the reason to come, but swimming can be a poor idea when the swell is strong. There is no promise of calm water, shade or a sheltered family beach. Check local flags and turn back from the water when conditions look rough.

The three-hour safari gives more riding time for less money. The Can-Am option makes sense when crossing from east to west and seeing La Pared are the specific goal. Its booking page states a minimum age of 7; do not transfer that limit to other operators, whose rules differ.

Our recommendation
A hire car wins if anyone wants to stop for photographs, watch the sunset or leave early. A buggy wins if dust, a fixed route and the driving itself are the point. Neither option is suitable for someone expecting a quiet coastal transfer.
