Calm water, wind, and a bus all year

The other Esquinzo: do not get off in the north
Visit Fuerteventura lists two beaches called Esquinzo. This one, Esquinzo-Butihondo on the Jandía coast, is the one lines 1 and 5 serve; the other, 300 metres of wild, unsupervised sand reached through a ravine near El Cotillo in La Oliva, has strong waves and no bus. Same name, opposite ends of the island.
