Jandía Natural Park, Natural park on Jandía Peninsula, Fuerteventura, Spain.

Jandía Natural Park covers the northern part of the Jandía peninsula and the isthmus linking it to Fuerteventura. A broad, dry plain of tan and ochre sand with scattered dark mounds and faint tracks lies at the foot of a long range of bare brown and purplish mountains rising to 807 m at Pico de la Zarza. The mountains descend abruptly to the sea, and the southern sector holds large U-shaped barrancos.

Jandía was declared a natural park by the Canary Islands government on 19 June 1987, covering 143.185 km². It was reclassified as a natural park by the law of 19 December 1994, and later extensions brought the total area to 149.73 km². The European Union subsequently designated it a Zone of Special Protection for Birds.

The park's name comes from the Jandía peninsula, and its only village nucleus is Cofete, with 25 permanent residents; the wider park counts eight localities and 69 inhabitants. The Canary Island houbara bustard, the hubara, is the island's emblematic bird and nests within the park.

The area is accessible via the FV-2 coastal road from Puerto del Rosario or through the FV-605 route from Pájara. Both routes provide access to different sections of the park.

The park contains Pico de la Zarza, which rises 807 meters and is Fuerteventura's highest mountain. The north and south slopes display distinctly different geological formations.
