Once a small fishing village with only 200 inhabitants, today it is one of the biggest holiday resorts on the island.

It was during the early eighties that tourism first took off now
Morro Jable has around 8,000 inhabitants.
In 1982 a new main road leading to
Morro Jable was finished, before then the only way to the resort was a rough sand track.
Nowadays Morro Jable has something for everyone, miles of golden beaches and clear blue seas, shops, bars and restaurants which attract thousands of tourists each year.
Despite all the tourism the old village still remains intact and there is a quaint harbour in the west of the town which is used by local fishermen and yachtsmen.
Some of the beaches here are the longest and most beautiful in the
Canary Islands stretching 35km and there's plenty to do for the water sports enthusiast from jet skiing and of course windsurfing.
