One of the island's main resorts, Carralejo's main attraction are the sand dunes which stretch southwards. The dunes are now a protected nature reserve.  There is a ferry from Carrajelo to the island of Lanzarote.  The town itself is made up of a town centre from which apartments straggle their way to the beach.  The liveliest area is around the port where there are plenty seafood restaurants. Angling, scuba diving and surfing in the crystal clear water are some of the resort's popular activities.   There are boat excursions, notably a glass bottom boat tour from the port to the small offshore islet of los Lobos.
