Long and murky, but once we arrived there was a wonderful beach waiting for us. When we arrived, there were only a few people on the beach and during the hours we were there, more and more arrived, but since the beach is so huge, it was noticeable. Fantastic surroundings with a wonderful beach and the mountains in the background I have to warn about the strong currents in the water which are very strong and it is also very far to help if something were to happen

The beach is amazing and this was my 3rd time. The first 35 years ago and the second about 12 years ago. I would not bother again as its now popular a full of hire cars and visitors who cant drive on dirt tracks especially when hilly! Suggest go early or late. The restaurant is small but good value.

Tuesday 6th February and we visited this remote beach on the southern most tip of Fuerteventura. The beach  lies within the mountainous Jandía Natural Park. We drove the twenty kilometres to the beach  along a winding, unsurfaced and uneven track, an adventure itself. We followed the direction indicated by the one and only road sign. Along the way we did stop at the roadside, to take in the stunning views along the thirteen kilometres of beach and views of the Natural Park. This breathing beach with it's vast expanse of golden sands stretches along the coast and is surrounded and protected by the towering mountains of the Jandía Natural Park. It all combines to create some amazing scenery. There are no facilities here there are no sunbeds of sunbeds. As there are no trees here there is no natural shade. The beach is unattended and there is no lifeguard. The sands are washed by the water's of the turbulent Atlantic Ocean. Although it all looks very picturesque it is not considered safe for swimming due to the strong sea currents and rip tides. It is a popular place with windsurfers due to the strong winds. There is a small restaurant just before the track reaches the beach and a disused Cemetery on the beach It is possible to catch a bus from Morro Jable to this Beach.

We caught the bus from Moro Jable bus station. Arrive at the station early and bring cash, cards are not accepted. The bus driver turned away more than he could carry, hence get there early. The drive out was fun, on a dirt track with lots of hairpin bends. We stopped for photos on the ridge above the beach. The beach is vast and golden, with impressive surf. We walked for miles, in the wilderness, stunning. A must do!

On the Canary island of Fuerteventura, Playa de Cofete and the road to Cofete are almost legendary. Many people visit Moro Jable and go no further, but this popular resort is the starting point of the road to Cofete on the other side of the island. It is best experienced in a 4x4 vehicle, and there is a 4x4 bus service from Moro Jable, but many people take their rental cars there in defiance of the rental companies rules. The reason they do so, is to see the magnificent spectacle of this wild beach and the landscape that it is set in. We went a step further and took our motor home there on the winding mountain unmade road, not something I would recommend, if you are not used to driving large vehicles on tight roads. You can see our video on YT. We didn't stay the night as was planed as the weather was cold and very very windy, rocking our mobile home, which was a shame, as it would have been wonderful to walk the seemingly unending beach if the weather was better. Many pictures, videos and reviews of this beach have been posted, and it really is amazing to see it first hand, all the pictures in the world cannot give you the true feeling of being in this amazing vast, natural location. If you decide to visit this amazing place, be aware it is very very remote, and although there is a (very) small village with a restaurant, it is best to take your own food and water as you need to be self-sufficient. Phone signal is also hit and miss on various parts of the "road". If you need to call for help it will be a long time coming…. This is most certainly a bucket list 'tick'

The volcanic dirt road to Cofete is very long and somewhat dangerous as it’s very narrow and without any guardrails. Most car rental companies will not insure the car to be driven on the unpaved road to Cofete. Once you’ve reached the pass, and begin the drive down to the beach, it’s the most spectacular thing your eyes will ever see. The beach is absolutely stunning with the volcanic mountains in the backdrop. The surf is incredibly strong and dangerous to go past waist deep, but nothing beats the golden sand and isolation of this epic beach.
