On its east coast Fuerteventure has long dune-backed beaches popular with wind surfers and nudists.
Because of the prevailing wind you will find a number of little shelters built along the beach. Low circular piles of rocks. These are especially popular with nudists.
Now I don't know what it is about nudists but they tend to be fat older men. I know this because next to sunbathing what they love most is standing up and surveying the surroundings. At great length.
I have no objection to naked sunbathing but I do object to men showing off their dangly bits. What's that you say? Don't look? Hm, yes, I suppose that's an alternative.
But let's admit it: there's something about the horror that makes one (me) unable to resist a quick peek.

I felt a little faint this morning and as we sat in the restaurant I felt very strange. 'Perhaps I am going to die,' I thought, as you do. 'That would be a terrible nuisance for Husband. Having to get my body home. Not to mention messing up the holiday.'
I didn't. And it didn't put me off my breakfast.

My diagnosis is dangly-bit-visual-poisoning. Glad it wasn't fatal!
"Dangly" bits? Girl, you need to look at the (upstanding) younger guys ;-)
Could it be a gay nudist beach? That might explain why they were surveying their surroundings at great length. Google says there are several gay nudist beaches in Fuerteventura. Jenny and I stumbled on a gay nudist beach in Vancouver once. We felt very out of place!
I hadn't thought of that, Debra!
There aren't any, Stu.
There is a naturist hotel nearby, Nick, but the beach is a popular family one. It just seems to be accepted.
