Cofete spans over 12 kilometers of fine golden sand along the western coast of the Jandía peninsula.
This stretch of wild coastline offers a remote landscape with powerful Atlantic waves. The beach averages about 50 meters wide and remains largely undeveloped.
You will not find shops or lifeguards on the sand. Swimming is highly dangerous due to strong waves and undertows.
2-3 hours round trip5 km north
This small rocky peninsula sits about 5 kilometers north along the beach. High tides partially cut off the islet from the mainland. It makes a great destination for a long beach walk. Check the local tide schedule before you set out.
1-2 hoursSouthern end
Roque del Moro is a giant monolithic rock formation at the southern end of the beach. You can drive partway or hike from the main parking area. The rock pools here are visible at low tide.
Landscape photography800-meter-high wall
The Jandía mountain range looms directly behind the beach, creating an imposing 800-meter-high wall. The highest point reaches 807 meters at Pico de la Zarza. The peaks often trap clouds, providing a moody atmosphere for landscape photography.
