A VAST STRETCH OF UNTOUCHED COAST

Playa de Cofete in Fuerteventura is an expansive stretch of sand set between the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged mountains of the Jandía Peninsula. It runs for kilometers with no development along the shoreline, and getting there involves a long, unpaved road, which keeps visitor numbers relatively low. The beach is fully exposed to the open ocean, so conditions are often windy with stronger waves, but this adds to its character and the sense of being closely connected to nature. The scale of the mountains and the power of the ocean make this a very special place where you feel isolated from the rest of the world. It feels raw and untamed, and the scale alone sets it apart from more built-up beaches in the Canary Islands.
