Playa de Cofete is a stunning 12-kilometer stretch of golden sand on the remote western coast of Fuerteventura’s Jandía Peninsula. This breathtaking beach is framed by the wild Atlantic Ocean and the imposing peaks of the Jandía mountain range. Although it offers a tranquil and unspoiled environment perfect for long walks, photography, or simply enjoying the sounds of nature, swimming is not recommended due to strong currents and unpredictable waves. The beach is within the protected Jandía Natural Park, making it an ecological haven with unique flora and fauna.
Visitors can explore the surrounding village of Cofete, which offers a glimpse into a simpler way of life. The area is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, which have been showcased in several films. A key attraction is the enigmatic Villa Winter, an architectural mystery that has sparked numerous legends.
Access to Cofete requires a scenic but challenging drive from Morro Jable, which is about a 40-minute journey or accessible via limited public bus services.
