Cofete

The Cofete beach extends for several kilometers along the southwestern coast of Fuerteventura, bordered by mountains reaching heights of 800 meters.

The settlement of Cofete remained largely isolated until the late 20th century, when improved road infrastructure allowed better access to this remote location.

Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices passed down through generations, utilizing specific techniques adapted to the strong Atlantic currents.

Access to Cofete requires a 4x4 vehicle to navigate the unpaved mountain road, and visitors should bring sufficient water and supplies.

The beach features black volcanic sand mixed with golden grains, creating distinct patterns when exposed to the constant winds from the Atlantic Ocean.
