Costa Calma is a town on the Island of Fuerteventura, the second largest of the Canary Islands after Tenerife.

Costa Calma lies 80km South of the airport on the edge of the National Park area of Jandia.  Costa Calma is a true beach resort, having been built adjacent to a mile long section at the start of the white sandy beaches that run for about twelve miles from Costa Calma to Morro Jable. The colourful seas that lap the shores of this part of Fuerteventura are relatively benign and the area as a whole is very popular with beach lovers and wind surfers.
 
Costa Calma was built around a small village called Cañada Del Rio, though it is now difficult to see how the original pueblo fitted into the landscape. The attraction for the tourism industry was the sandy beaches, but care was taken when the resort was being developed to make sure that countryside did not disappear under concrete. The built up areas of Costa Calma are separated from each other by a green zone that runs the length of the resort. This provides a haven for wildlife. This greenbelt provides a pleasant area to walk through during the day.
 
The length of the resort means that it has no real central area to Costa Calma, but there are several shopping centres with restaurants and shops that act as a nucleus for the immediate vicinty. One of the events in Costa Calma that does act as a focal point is the Sunday morning market. This is a colourful, crowded affair that starts about 9 and carries on until early afternoon. The whole range of goods that you would expect to find on a holiday island is available from the stallholders who represent numerous nationalites. Costa Calma Beach The beach at Costa Calma, which is cleaned daily, is long enough for early morning joggers to have a decent workout by running the length of it a couple of times.

Later in the day the beach at Costa Calma has more of a relaxed feel to it as the sunbathers relax in the sunshine.
