Cofete Beach

One of Spain’s most sensational beaches, with more than 12 kilometres of golden sand and a completely pristine environment. It is accessible only by dirt roads, so there’s nothing like a minivan to get there comfortably.

About this Safari Tour to Cofete and Jandía

The southern end of Fuerteventura is said to be a true reflection of what nature can do if left to its own devices: it unfolds its full splendour. These words describe Cofete and Jandía Natural Park, the stars of this 4x4 excursion during which you’ll cross mountains and lunar deserts before arriving at a beach worthy of featuring on the most beautiful postcard, a lighthouse where the ocean seems to split in two, and a tiny village that breathes at its own pace.

Cofete Beach … is a different story

Cofete is not just any beach. We’re talking about more than 12 kilometres of golden sand embraced by the Jandía mountains and wide open to the Atlantic Ocean. Getting here is quite an adventure: you must travel along a dirt road, crossing rocky−almost moonlike−desert landscapes, after previously stopping at a viewpoint that offers sensational views. And once on the beach … no hotels, no sun loungers, no rush. Just pure nature, wind, and sea.

Walking along Cofete means feeling small in the face of a vast, unspoilt landscape. It is not a beach for bathing. It is a place to breathe deeply, to let yourself be impressed and to understand why some corners of our geography deserve to remain as they are. It is, without a doubt, an essential part of any excursion through southern Fuerteventura.

The spectacular route through Jandía Natural Park’s hinterland

There’s no better way to visit this Natural Park than by minivan. Driving in an all-terrain vehicle through endless wind-shaped mountains, ravines, and plains feels like crossing another planet, where nature imposes its law and human presence is barely perceptible. As you climb and descend the slopes, each curve opens up a new perspective: cliffs overlooking the ocean, whimsical rock formations, and the sparkling Atlantic in the background.

Next stop: Punta Jandía Lighthouse

The tour continues to one southern Fuerteventura’s most iconic spots, where land ends and the immensity of the Atlantic begins. It affords spectacular ocean views in two directions, and views towards the seemingly endless horizon. It is a place to take a deep breath and begin to bid farewell to the wildest side of Fuerteventura.

Aloe vera: the last stop before return

This tour of Jandía ends in Puertito, a small coastal village where everything moves at a different pace. Here, you’ll have free time to stroll through its simple streets, sit on a terrace overlooking the ocean or take a dip at the beach. Puertito de la Cruz is the perfect place to relax after having crossed mountains and deserts: a quiet spot where you can unwind, feel the sea breeze, and simply let time pass. The perfect ending.
