Playa de Cofete
A 12 km wilderness beach backed by the Jandía mountains, with very few visitors. It is often called one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches.
Playa de Cofete lies on the northwest side of the Jandía Peninsula, about 12 km long, with the steep Jandía Mountains rising behind it. The scenery is bleak and sweeping, and it is often ranked among Europe’s most beautiful beaches. From Morro Jable you must drive about 20 km on a gravel mountain road. The viewpoint at the mountain pass offers excellent views. Standard rental contracts usually do not cover unpaved roads, so you can take the 111 four-wheel-drive bus instead.
Undertows and waves here are extremely strong, and swimming is strictly forbidden. There are no facilities at all, so bring your own water and food.
