Playa de Cofete
Information
Playa de Cofete is a breathtaking and wild beach on the island of Fuerteventura, characterized by its extensive stretch of golden sand bordered by dramatic cliffs. The beach offers breathtaking views and a magical atmosphere, making it a must-visit whether you are exploring the natural beauty of the island or simply seeking a tranquil getaway.
However, access to the beach can be quite challenging. The road leading here is unpaved and rocky, often requiring careful driving and a vehicle that can handle rough terrain. Many visitors have reported difficulties with their cars on this road, notably flat tires. Travelers should prepare for a long drive, taking approximately an hour to reach the beach, and be cautious of adverse weather conditions such as fog and strong winds.
In summary, Playa de Cofete is an incredible destination to experience the untouched beauty of nature. It is not suitable for swimming due to strong currents, so visitors are advised to stay near the shore and be cautious. Facilities are limited, so bringing your food and drinks is recommended. This hidden gem promises stunning views and a unique escape into nature.

Fantastic experience: This beach is very famous for its strangeness: it doesn't feel like being on earth. It is magical and has a wild atmosphere, somewhat like the whole island. To get there, you go through a dirt road, but it is easily accessible even by a small car. There will definitely be wind, but it is a must-visit.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended beach, yet dangerous. Swimming is forbidden due to the currents, and access is quite complicated by road. There is a dirt path, and although there are tourists who dare to do it in rental cars, it is quite risky. The best alternative to access is to use the buses that leave from Morro Jable, as they are prepared (they are giant 4x4s) and it is a better experience being able to enjoy the landscape, without having to worry about the condition of the road. Being there 15 minutes before departure is more than enough (both for going and coming back).
Positive experience: We waited a long time to see it and wow, the road to get there was terrible, we saw more than one car with flat tires, it was an unpaved road, with a lot of stones, quite in poor condition. We arrived after 1 hour of going like this, and the beach wasn't bad, but it felt like a place from another planet, you couldn't see the sky, there was fog, enormous waves, the mountain very close to the beach with that fog, it seemed like another place, less beach, I don't know, beautiful but strange.
Fantastic experience: A must visit if you go to Fuerteventura, very beautiful beach but with a complicated road, dirt path and stones, and dangerous for bathing.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular, wild, unique. The long stretch of unpaved road is worth it.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular white sand beach, surrounded by volcanic mountains. The access road is somewhat complicated, but with a car that is not too low, it can be done perfectly, slowly, of course. The challenge of the road is worth it if you are going to spend a few hours at the beach.
Fantastic experience: Ambiente marziano, solitario e irruento, a sud di Fuerteventura è un luogo (spiaggia è riduttivo) che merita di essere visitato! Raggiungibile solo con 40 minuti di strada sterrata, anch'essa un esperienza! Si tratta di una spiaggia lunga qualche km circondata da un arco montuoso di origine vulcanica
Fantastic experience: Impresionante playa salvaje de 14 km, reconocida como la 2a mejor de Europa y entre las 25 mejores del mundo. Se encuentra en un parque natural de muy difícil acceso (1 hora en coche aprox. desde Morro Jable pasando por un camino lleno de piedras volcánicas). Se puede ir en coche sin problema. No es apta para su baño por sus peligrosas corrientes y fuerte oleaje, este es el Océano Atlántico en su estado puro. Es una playa tan grande que parecerá que estás solo y el único acompañante será el aire, el cual soplará bastante como lo hace en la práctica totalidad de las playas de la isla. ¡Recomiendo su visita obligada si visitas Fuerteventura!
Fantastic experience: Hay que madrugar y armarse de paciencia y energía si se quiere llegar al Islote, pero me atrevería a decir que vale la pena. La carretera de acceso es para valientes y caminar 5km por la arena (que se hunde bastante) se hace bastante duro, sobre todo en días de sol. Pero la playa es enorme, así que es totalmente imposible llenarla.
Fantastic experience: Playa increíble... Mar imponente.. era un día dónde fue imposible meterse al agua... La fuerza y el ímpetu del océano eran temerarios... Igual el lugar merece totalmente la pena ir, sólo la carretera de ripio ya es toda una aventura. Conocer el museo enclavado en este paisaje volcánico es también una tarea pendiente, y llegar a esta playa de largos kilómetros en el lugar más inhóspito de la isla tiene mérito y mucha magia

Fantastic experience: A must visit if you go to Fuerteventura, very beautiful beach but with a complicated road, dirt path and stones, and dangerous for bathing.
Fantastic experience: After an 18km winding road, you arrive at one of the most wonderful places in Fuerteventura. A pristine, enormous, long beach with light sand and crystal-clear water. Access by car is possible; just be a little careful. For now, it's my favorite beach on the island; going early, I've been able to enjoy it without anyone around. It’s so vast that if you walk a bit, you will be all alone. The parking is right by the beach. If you want to eat something, there's a restaurant nearby. It's worth taking a long walk and having a swim at any time of the year. Next to it, you have the Cofete cemetery to visit, and it's worth it; don't hesitate to visit because you will enjoy it a lot.
Fantastic experience: To reach it, you need to travel about 10 km of dirt road, but it's totally doable. The sandy beach is vast and beautiful, with stunning colors; it is definitely worth going there.
Fantastic experience: Splendid and infinite golden sand beach. The road to get there is a bit long and challenging, but you are rewarded by the spectacle of nature. The beach is not equipped, so bring water and food. There is a bar-restaurant a little further away if you need a bathroom, otherwise the rest of civilization is an hour's drive away. From the beach, you can see Casa Winter which is worth a visit just for the story it tells.

Fantastic experience: Incredible wild beach. Amazing! The force of the sea and the wind is brutal. Be very careful. It's best to check the wind conditions before going, on Windguru or another similar site you can evaluate which day is best to access this paradise. One of the best on the island. The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the place. But it is not a family-friendly or comfortable beach, you have to bring food and drinks. There is only one restaurant nearby, we found it closed and there was a dog with a very bad attitude. Although daring children will enjoy, the force of the sea pulls you in right at the shore. But it is a must-visit.
Fantastic experience: Wild and beautiful beach. It's a pristine place. In fact, it's a nesting area for turtles. To get there, you have to take a somewhat long dirt road, but it's worth it. There is also a viewpoint where there is a lot of wind and it's very fun. I recommend it. P.S.: There is the village of Cofete near the beach, which has a restaurant. Anyway, don't forget water (and food).

Fantastic experience: The way is arduous. Narrow switchbacks on a gravel road. But already on the way to Cofete, it compensates for the thrill. Cofete itself is small, apart from a small restaurant there is not much. But the (unmonitored) beach is fantastic.

Negative experience: It's not worth the journey to get there, through an impassable road where you can't go more than 20 km/h for one hour going and another hour back, on a road without any protection or safety. You'll end up with a neck ache from the potholes, plus when you arrive, it's just another beach like any other in Fuerteventura. Totally absurd. If we had known this, we definitely wouldn't have wasted two hours of our lives. There's nothing within more than an hour's distance, not a bar, not a shop, absolutely nothing. If you plan to spend the day, make sure you bring everything you need!
Positive experience: A highlight of Fuerteventura + absolutely beautiful + lonely + public transport connection (bus) ~ this is a natural park. there is no proper infrastructure. Be prepared, if you go by car. Especially if you're driving a rental, since some damages and territories (natural park!) aren't covered. there is a bus. ~ beware of the ocean currents, it is dangerous and there is no safety personal. - unfortunately, there is a lot of dirt, garbage and also signs of car break ins at the general parking space
Fantastic experience: Wundervoller Strand mit starkem Wellengang. Dadurch dass keine Lifeguards an diesem Strand stationiert sind ist es sehr ratsam sich nicht zu weit ins Wasser zu wagen. _ This review was made to the best of my knowledge and belief. It does not represent a general statement but a subjective evaluation of a visit or several visitors. The review also reflects only a snapshot again and can not be significantly involved in the evaluation of a locality.
Fantastic experience: World class beach and scenery, absolutely breathtaking. the drive is via stoney road over the mountain. Great views. The sea has powerful waves and currents with no lifeguards
Fantastic experience: The longest beach at the Jandia peninsula of Fuertaventura island. No lifesavers, so be careful.

Fantastic experience: This is an insanely beautiful place. Don’t skip it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, very long and quite wild!! The road to get there is long and unpaved, with narrow points but not as impractical as they say. To avoid misunderstandings, we came in a 4x4. Bus 111 from the Morro Jable Cervantes bus station. Ticket cost is 8.70 per person each way. Departure times from the bus station are 10 and 14. When it’s full, will you be left standing? There is doubt. Return at 13 and 17 next to the sanatorium (small cemetery on the beach where Cla will scatter my ashes).

Fantastic experience: Perfect for surfing warm wind, warm water and white sand. Beautiful place, but hard to get there with a car, only one road in the hills
Fantastic experience: Maravilloso sito donde haya paz y sitio virgen donde pasar buenos días y para hacer surf buenas hola y hambiente muy bueno buenos servicios de bares y cafeterías y supermercados cerca
Fantastic experience: Must visit place. Waves are huge. May not suite for kids(may be a bit dangerous - waves). Probably area is good for surfing. We met two donkeys here asking for food :) Bring some vegetables for donkeys and enjoy one of the greatest beach in the world. The view is unrealistic- ocean waves, mountains, send...
Fantastic experience: Super chulo para hacer surf

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. A must-visit. Better to go from Morro Jable. The trip takes about 4 hours. The trail is clear. Marked. There are no toilets and water. The view is absolutely breathtaking. If you haven't been to Cofete, you haven't been to Fuerteventura! The bus leaves Cofete around 15:00. Later you have to hitchhike. The road back is very winding and dangerous. Be sure to have a good car. You will drive about 17 km in about 1 hour. But definitely worth it!
Fantastic experience: Playa preciosa, y olas para pasárselo pipa!!!

Fantastic experience: Famosa y hermosa playa por su belleza natural, y escenario de diversas peliculas
Fantastic experience: Bellissima! L'acqua era più calda di quanto mi aspettavo, divertente fare il bagno ma prestando sempre attenzione perché le onde sono continue e molto potenti. Non perdete molto tempo alla casa Winter , andate alla spiaggia!
Fantastic experience:   Noticias MeteorologíaCambio ClimáticoSostenibilidadVida SaludableTiempo LibreEscapadas 10 tesoros de la naturaleza que esconde España (y no conoces) España cuenta con auténticas joyas, verdaderos tesoros de la naturaleza que son casi desconocidos. ¿Los quieres conocer?  María José Montesinos 4 de marzo de 2022 En colaboración con La gran diversidad de ecosistemas presentes en el territorio español y su rica biodiversidad hacen que el país ofrezca una importante lista de tesoros naturales repartidos por todos los rincones. Entre ellos hay muchas joyas todavía poco conocidas que te queremos desvelar durante este Mes del Planeta. ¿Preparado para sorprenderte con los 10 tesoros de la naturaleza que esconde España? ¡Empezamos! 1. Playa de Sakoneta, en Guipúzcoa La playa de Sakoneta se encuentra en la localidad guipuzcoana de Deba. Sus acantilados y primera línea de playa impactan al visitante por su singular paisaje geológico, uno de los más espectaculares ejemplos de la formación conocida como flysch . Un flysch es una composición geológica en la que puede observarse perfectamente alineados los estratos de la roca, al haber desaparecido todos los elementos blandos por causa de la erosión de las olas durante millones de años. Sus estratos alineados parecen el enorme costillar de un animal mitológico de dimensiones gigantescas Sakoneta forma parte del Geoparque de la Costa Vasca, y su singularidad más llamativa es la disposición vertical de los estratos en las paredes de los acantilados, que ofrecen una imagen realmente inaudita. En la parte baja, la roca se interna en el agua como un enorme costillar de piedra, que hace pensar en un animal mitológico de dimensiones gigantescas. La playa de Sakoneta, un paisaje increíble. Fuente: Oier Arazola 2. Los Aguarales de Valpalmas, en Zaragoza Los Aguarales de Valpalmas, o de Valdemiraz, son unas formaciones geológicas de aspecto lunar que dejan atónjto al visitante que llega a este inesperado enclave de la provincia de Zaragoza. Su paisaje nace de un fenómeno conocido como ‘piping’, por el que, a lo largo de miles de años, el suelo de arenas y arcillas se ha ido erosionando y hundiendo por partes por la acción del agua y el viento. Estas tierras blandas, han ido cediendo, creando en el proceso unas estalactitas de tierra conocidas popularmente como chimeneas de hadas. En Valpalmas, el visitante se siente como en un planeta extraño, donde en cualquier momento aterrizará una nave espacial Sus formas oníricas y sugerentes hacen sentir al visitante que ha sido transportado de repente a otro planeta, y que, de repente, va a aterrizar una nave de ‘Star Wars’. El impacto es tan grande que Ramón y Cajal, que vivió en Valpalmas de niño, dejó escrito que fue en este lugar donde nació su curiosidad por la naturaleza y por la ciencia. Es posible recorrer el espacio por las sendas delimitadas en su interior y ver su conjunto desde un mirador. Los Aguarales de Valpalmas, un paisaje de otro planeta.

Playa del Cofete, en Fuerteventura Este impresionante arenal de 12 kilómetros de longitud es un paraíso escondido en la parte de barlovento de la península de Jandía, en la isla canaria de Fuerteventura. Este enclave, un buen ejemplo de uno de los tesoros de la naturaleza escondidos, le ayuda a guardar su secreto las crestas montañosas del Parque Natural de Jandía. La abrupta disposición de esta cadena montañosa dificultan el acceso a este edén de arena blanca al borde del mar, lo que ha permitido mantenerlo en un feliz estado casi intocado.
Fantastic experience: De las playas más espectaculares de la isla. Olas divertidas, muy grande y precioso atardecer. Conviene evitar días de fuerte viento.

Playa de Cofete: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and amazing views! It was worth the trip from the other end of the island. The road is winding, gravel, sometimes narrow, but smooth, without major potholes, easily navigable with a regular car. The water is not really suitable for normal swimming due to the big waves and strong current.
Fantastic experience: This is an insanely beautiful place. Don’t skip it.
Fantastic experience: This beach is very famous for its strangeness: it doesn't feel like being on earth. It is magical and has a wild atmosphere, somewhat like the whole island. To get there, you go through a dirt road, but it is easily accessible even by a small car. There will definitely be wind, but it is a must-visit.
Fantastic experience: Unique, vast, and untouched beach. There are no hotels here and few tourists... Pure nature and a great panorama!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! A must-see when you're on the island :)
Fantastic experience: A beach as beautiful as it is dangerous. If you have made it here, you must see the cemetery and the Winter house.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Nice place.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, very long and quite wild!! The road to get there is long and unpaved, with narrow points but not as impractical as they say.

Fantastic experience: Marvellous. Long, golden beach with amazing views. Can be super windy though so watch your hats! I nearly lost mine.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful places. Stunning beach
Positive experience: We waited a long time to see it and wow, the road to get there was terrible, we saw more than one car with flat tires, it was an unpaved road, with a lot of stones, quite in poor condition. We arrived after 1 hour of going like this, and the beach wasn't bad, but it felt like a place from another planet, you couldn't see the sky, there was fog, enormous waves, the mountain very close to the beach with that fog, it seemed like another place, less beach, I don't know, beautiful but strange.
Fantastic experience: Magical place
Fantastic experience: Amazing place, with a beautiful beach overlooking the ocean and mountains. The access is very difficult, a winding narrow dirt road through the mountains. The views are great. It's often cloudy and very windy from the ocean side.
Fantastic experience: A must visit if you go to Fuerteventura, very beautiful beach but with a complicated road, dirt path and stones, and dangerous for bathing.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular, wild, unique. The long stretch of unpaved road is worth it.
Fantastic experience: The most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura. Wild, with many kilometers long, huge waves, and tranquility. It's like being at the end of the world. I have always gone with a rental car, but the road is quite complicated (dirt, slopes, without guardrails...). Maybe next time I'll consider the bus. You must see it at least once in your life. Amazing.
Fantastic experience: Incredible wild beach. Amazing! The force of the sea and the wind is brutal. Be very careful. It's best to check the wind conditions before going, on Windguru or another similar site you can evaluate which day is best to access this paradise. One of the best on the island.

But it is a must-visit.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach. Wild, deserted, in the middle of a natural park. Intense waves and undertow, you need to know how to swim to go in beyond the waist. It is usually cloudy. You can drive there with a car, and there is no major problem if you know how to drive. Those who complain are because they have never left the M30 in their life.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful charming place. Unfortunately, the currents are too strong for swimming.
Fantastic experience: The most beautiful and mysterious beach in Europe. It is a must-see on any trip to Fuerteventura. While walking, you can admire the beautiful views of the mountains that descend right to the ocean. You can walk on this beach, but you won't be able to swim due to the strong ocean currents present there. There is a warning about this on the sign at the entrance to the beach.
Positive experience: It's not the madness they paint! A beach with waves where you can't swim, a lot of wind and practically empty. A wild place to see but it's not essential to visit.
Fantastic experience: Wild and beautiful beach. It's a pristine place. In fact, it's a nesting area for turtles. To get there, you have to take a somewhat long dirt road, but it's worth it. There is also a viewpoint where there is a lot of wind and it's very fun. I recommend it. P.S.: There is the village of Cofete near the beach, which has a restaurant. Anyway, don't forget water (and food).
Fantastic experience: The beach is beautiful and if you are close by, because if you are coming from the capital or the north, it's better not to go because it's very far. The road, which is what many are worried about, is very good for driving, even small cars can pass. However, there are some potholes on the road, and you have to be careful in the mountains. Don’t go on a day when there is fog, as it is too dangerous!
Fantastic experience: After an 18km winding road, you arrive at one of the most wonderful places in Fuerteventura. A pristine, enormous, long beach with light sand and crystal-clear water. Access by car is possible; just be a little careful. For now, it's my favorite beach on the island; going early, I've been able to enjoy it without anyone around. It’s so vast that if you walk a bit, you will be all alone. The parking is right by the beach. If you want to eat something, there's a restaurant nearby. It's worth taking a long walk and having a swim at any time of the year. Next to it, you have the Cofete cemetery to visit, and it's worth it; don't hesitate to visit because you will enjoy it a lot.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and recommended because the beach is very large and there are few people. It takes 1 hour to get there by dirt road, but it's worth it. *Be very careful with the currents*, they are very strong and can pull you in if you stray too far from the beach. Stay close to the shore if you want to swim.
Fantastic experience: It is an amazing beach. The view is worth the terrible road connecting this beach and the rest of the island.
Fantastic experience: Great beach, you should visit it, such great waves
Fantastic experience: The most beautiful and pristine beach in Europe. Here the mountains meet the power of the ocean.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, wide beach. The waves here are too big for swimming. However, walking along the ocean shore allows for quiet and relaxation. While in Fuerteventura, you definitely need to visit Cofete. You can reach the beach via a dirt road. There is a bus that runs here twice a day.
Fantastic experience: Access via a gravel road, many twists and narrow, but the view is amazing. Must see.
Fantastic experience: Surely a beach worth visiting. Beautiful, long where you can take walks, swim immersed in the waves. The road to get there requires some attention as it is dirt and you almost have to cross a mountain, but it is more than feasible even with a small and less powerful car.
Fantastic experience: Very impressive beach. Even the bus ride there is an experience.
Fantastic experience: My world!!! A glimpse that enters the soul.. great beach unique context that connects with the soul.. beautiful experience to live
Fantastic experience: An amazing endless beach between the Atlantic and the mountains... I've only seen in Australia before. No hotels, just nature as far as your eye can see. You shouldn't swim in the sea. It's very dangerous and not monitored. Just enjoy and inhale this beach and have a long walk.
Fantastic experience: Breathtaking. Extremely beautiful. You can visit this easily in a day with a tour. I will not recommend you to rent a car as the roads are not easy. There are no toilets, facilities, etc as it is the wildest part of the island. So take your water and food unless this is included on your tour. It is very windy and (as you can imagine) it is not a place for swimming. Just to take amazing photos and spend a relaxing time enjoying nature. The road is very impressive. This is the tour I enjoyed the most when I went to Fuerteventura.
Fantastic experience: ❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, untouched beach. The way there is a bit brave, but definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: The access is an amazing, challenging gravel road. The views along the way are gorgeous. And on the beach itself, you can feel the power of the ocean.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional beach and sea. The road to get there is also characteristic. Very picturesque.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, no movie or picture does justice to how it looks in real life, it's a must-see.
Positive experience: Breathtaking view but you have to endure about 40 minutes of dirt road.
Fantastic experience: To reach it, you need to travel about 10 km of dirt road, but it's totally doable. The sandy beach is vast and beautiful, with stunning colors; it is definitely worth going there.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and wild beach, where on one side there are volcanic mountains and on the other the ocean with the nearest land about 5,000 km away. Note that the beach is not suitable for swimming. A majestic place. You must see it. You can reach there by regular car on a gravel road, or by bus (it runs from Morro Jable).
Fantastic experience: Splendid and infinite golden sand beach. The road to get there is a bit long and challenging, but you are rewarded by the spectacle of nature. The beach is not equipped, so bring water and food. There is a bar-restaurant a little further away if you need a bathroom, otherwise the rest of civilization is an hour's drive away. From the beach, you can see Casa Winter which is worth a visit just for the story it tells.
Positive experience: Immense Cofete beach. It's just magnificent. Not very crowded. It takes your breath away. The way to get there is a bit sporty. It's an unpaved road. Be careful with your rental car. But at low speed, it's doable. It's a somewhat lunar beach to walk across.
Fantastic experience: A unique beach, it feels like being on Mars. However, let's start with the difficulty in reaching it; the road is indeed bumpy, narrow, and in many parts it is steep with two-way traffic. Once you arrive, you will immediately notice the strong wind and the perpetually choppy sea, all the fury of the Atlantic beats against this great wall. Definitely visit Winter House, a mystical place steeped in history and conspiracy; it will be up to you to decide.
Negative experience: Very windy. With fog and low visibility on the day of the visit.
Fantastic experience: Stunning wild beach, a visit is a must.
Fantastic experience: Amazing beach even when it’s windy. The weather can be the complete opposite of what is on the other side of the island.
Fantastic experience: There is no doubt that Cofete Beach is a natural paradise; it is a truly wild beach with reddish-golden sand that makes you feel like you are in a world without civilization. That was what I felt when I walked into the sand after a few kilometers, moving away from the entrance to the beach. I recommend it 100% if you love lonely, kilometer-long beaches with golden sand.
Fantastic experience: An truly amazing beach, if you go, don't miss visiting Villa Winter. We didn't swim in it, as the weather was not suitable (windy and cloudy). It's a bit far, but it's worth going to visit it.
Fantastic experience: Simply spectacular. Wild beach with ample parking where you can get lost in the vastness walking along the kilometer-long beach, with two contrasting landscapes, on one side the sea, on the other, the mountains ⛰️. It is not a beach to lay down a towel but to enjoy it in another sense, especially with respect to the view. How lucky that there are still beaches of this kind.
Fantastic experience: The photos speak for themselves. I recommend the walk to Las Siete Viudas, about 4 km each way, and since nobody does it, you'll have the feeling of having the whole beach to yourself. Water as clear as no other, but be mindful of the waves and respect them. The drive to get here is definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular paradise
Fantastic experience: An incredible place, worth seeing!
Fantastic experience: The most beautiful beach in Fuerteventura
Fantastic experience: The road to get to this beach offers a breathtaking view, and once you arrive, you are faced with a stunning sight.
Positive experience: Picturesque beach with a dirt path to reach it, very windy but all the 'sacrifices' are worth the view, it feels like being on the moon!!
Fantastic experience: A beautiful place in the south of Fuerteventura. The path is quite challenging on a rocky road, but it is definitely worth a visit. Stunning ocean and views.
Fantastic experience: Immense beach in a preserved part of the island that is worth the detour, even if you have to rent a car to get there via narrow dirt roads. The beach is huge and the sea is more tumultuous and colder than on the other side of the island. There are few people on the beach, a quiet and calm spot.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful wild beach. A place where you can disconnect and live by the sound of incoming waves. The beach is long and very wide. Even though more than two years have passed since my visit to Cofete, I still feel a sentiment for this mysterious place on the map of Fuerte!
Fantastic experience: To get there you have to travel more than 10 kilometers of narrow dirt road, with many curves and at times dangerous, which should be done with caution, but the spectacle of this beach is truly worthwhile. In the group of houses near the beach, there are a couple of restaurants. The sun sets over the sea. Very wavy, sandy beach suitable for children's games, but not suitable for swimming, the sea is dangerous.
Fantastic experience: Getting there is a little adventure, but it’s worth it as the area is very beautiful. The drive is also enjoyable. If you want to swim in the water, you should be very careful as the current there is very strong. This should definitely not be underestimated. Therefore, there have already been swimming accidents there.
Fantastic experience: Don't be scared by the dirt road, it's perfect, wide, and simply drivable in complete tranquility. Missing the chance to see such a beautiful place due to the fear of driving on a dirt road, even because of senseless negative reviews, would be a real shame.
Fantastic experience: Most beautiful spot in Fuerteventura. The combination of untouched beach, the mountains in the background, and the seemingly endless expanse is unique. Simply magical. The road there is also easy to navigate without an SUV. You have to know that...
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous, almost mystical beach with a minimum of tourists due to very poor accessibility. You can drive here, but only at a very low speed due to the terrible road leading to the beach. The roads are narrow and only for skilled drivers with nerves of steel. Many impatient people overtake in such sections, it's a shame to talk about.
Fantastic experience: A divine place. The drive is a torture for any car. But it's worth it. Video of the entire journey (!) and on-site will be on YouTube by the end of June with your Duke.
Fantastic experience: Difficult to access but it's great how big it is, not many people.
Fantastic experience: Simply stunning. A must visit. Drive in a low gear below 30kph and you’ll be fine.
Fantastic experience: It's worth going, but it is really very dangerous. Just by looking at the water you can see the currents. To get to the beach, you need an hour on well-maintained roads with your rental car. Of the places I have visited, this is one of my favorites.
Fantastic experience: After a walk along a goat path, not as bad as they say, you arrive at a magical place, where the view disappears into the infinite because you can't see the end of the beach, surrounded by mountains, it feels like you are in another world. We walked to the rock of the 7 waters and it really was worth the hike. An incredible place to enjoy.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely stunning place. Feels very human untouched. Amazing views driving down. A must visit when in Fuerteventura! BE CAREFUL driving there in a standard car, as the roads are really bad. We risked it and drove there in Peugeot 208 and it was fine, but we did see an SUV with flat tyre on the way and heard that it can cost up to €500 to get tyre replaced or recovery, because you won't be insured if you brake down on a dirt road!!
Fantastic experience: It's a whole experience. At least once in a lifetime you have to enjoy this totally stunning landscape. The road, although a stretch has been fixed, is still quite bad. With many curves and a somewhat dangerous stretch. But it's definitely worth reaching the beach itself. I do not recommend swimming. The North Sea has some impressive currents.
Fantastic experience: An overwhelming beauty and breathtaking natural scenery that cannot be described in words. It feels like seeing the primordial face of the Earth, and I also felt like I was on another planet. I think I went almost 20 kilometers off-road, and it was worth it. It truly deserves its reputation as the best spot in Fuerteventura. It's a pity that photos and videos cannot capture its beauty completely. I believe it will be a sight I won't forget until I die. The way back is one-way, so it takes quite a bit of time. The viewpoint is very windy, and you can feel a slight chill.
Fantastic experience: The road to get there is long and unpaved, it's not as dangerous as they say, just go slow. We had a Panda. But it's definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. A wonderful place, magical memories. It's worth getting there. The road is picturesque and the destination itself offers breathtaking views and space. The best beach for relaxation in solitude.
Fantastic experience: The road basically ends after Morro Jable and from there it’s just off road. Doable with a normal rental car but you will have to drive slowly. Careful as there can be donkeys on the way :) the beach is absolutely beautiful - very raw and very wild.
Positive experience: An impressive, very remote and almost deserted beach, accessible by an extremely bumpy unpaved road. So don't make the mistake we did and drive there with a small car, a flat tire is almost guaranteed, hence only 4 stars, but it's definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, but getting there takes 40 minutes on a poorly maintained road. Better to go by bus or in a 4x4.
Fantastic experience: Idyllic spot within a protected natural area. The best beach of all the Canary Islands without a doubt.
Positive experience: Little here bar the beach. You can walk here from Morro Jable via the road and then the path that goes from the church to an open car park then up the valley following white and yellow markers to the saddle in the hills and down the other side. Take water and no shade but worth it. Option the get the bus to Cofete but often full and no guarantee you can. Get a place coming back. Strenuous walk circa 2.5 hours each way ..... We did it easily at a plod. Need stout footware and a positive attitude.
Fantastic experience: It's a magnificent place, one of the most amazing spots I've visited without a doubt. A place that leaves a mark on you. The wildest beach in the Canary Islands, miles of untamed beach to enjoy. Swimming is tricky due to the currents that the area usually has. But it's definitely worth a visit. Access is via a dirt road with pull-offs, as long as you don't have a very large vehicle, there is no problem.
Negative experience: It's not worth the journey to get there, through an impassable road where you can't go more than 20 km/h for one hour going and another hour back, on a road without any protection or safety. You'll end up with a neck ache from the potholes, plus when you arrive, it's just another beach like any other in Fuerteventura. Totally absurd. If we had known this, we definitely wouldn't have wasted two hours of our lives. There's nothing within more than an hour's distance, not a bar, not a shop, absolutely nothing. If you plan to spend the day, make sure you bring everything you need!
Fantastic experience: Breath-taking, and so is the road that leads to it, sometimes with very little room for any basic reaction. So give it your best focus or use an automatic transmission, you're gonna thank yourselves for it later down the line. The common element where each mountains, ocean with it fierce waves and eye-blinking sand and dust all blend together in a beautiful sight, however difficult you may be to estheticsally please. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Incredible Cofete beach!!! Virgin, it is a very long sandy beach and a spectacular cliff. Unmonitored beach. A quiet and magical place. The energy there is like from another planet!!! A place to recharge and disconnect! I recommend going with a camper and spending at least one night. You have to be very careful with the current if you go swimming, stay close to the sand as the waves are very strong and can sweep you away. You arrive via a dirt road and you have to go slowly. Once you reach the viewpoint, which is spectacular, the curves start to get sharper and the track is narrow. You have to be careful, pay attention to oncoming cars to stop in the wider areas and be able to cross.
Fantastic experience: Magnificent beach south of Fuerteventura. The access is via an unpaved road but it's not too bad. The beach is a spectacle, with the strong waves on one side and the mountains on the other. Swimming is not allowed due to the strong currents.
Fantastic experience: Amazing beach like no other. The views from the viewpoint are truly incredible because of how spectacular they are. A 4x4 bus trip for €8.70 one way and the same amount for the return. Don't risk having an accident with the rental car. Highly recommended to visit.
Fantastic experience: A really beautiful place. But be careful if you are traveling with a rental car. To get there, you have to drive 20 kilometers of dirt road (unpaved). When you get a flat tire, you are not insured. We had to pay 450 euros to be towed and for a new tire! Plus, we had to wait almost 4 hours to be rescued.
Fantastic experience: With restricted access for cars, the area is preserved in a fairly natural state. Its features, a white sand beach at the foot of a mountain range, which stretches for several kilometers, make it very attractive. It is an impressive spectacle. I hope this natural reserve is preserved for many years to come.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place...
Fantastic experience: This is a must-see on the island
Fantastic experience: Getting there was an adventure but it was worth it.
Fantastic experience: I recommend a trip to this place, you have to take a little detour, but it's worth it!
Fantastic experience: Destination Cofete Beach on April 16, 2024, with a city car (Opel Corsa) on the unpaved road, but easily drivable at a slow speed (no ruts or potholes). No need to take a 4x4 exit to feel rushed like a lemon, especially since the vast beach is worth lingering at.
Fantastic experience: Worth a visit - a breathtaking beach with roaring waves (swimming is prohibited), with high mountains in the background. An experience!
Fantastic experience: The rugged but beautifully located natural beach Playa de Cofete on the west side of Fuerteventura can be reached by car or the 'Cofete' bus line (currently €8.70 one way and seat) from the bus station in Morro Jable. The location, the waves, and the soundscape are breathtaking. From here, you can see the also beautifully located Villa Winter. Warning! The beach is not suitable for swimming! Life-threatening!
Fantastic experience: An exceptional place! A must-do in Fuerteventura. Just as much by car on the track but especially on foot. Magnificent.
Fantastic experience: beautiful beach, the longest in Fuerteventura
