Playa de Cofete, Remote beach in Jandia Peninsula, Fuerteventura, Spain.

Playa de Cofete is a large sandy beach along the Atlantic coast on the Jandia Peninsula, surrounded by the hills of the Natural Park. The 14-kilometer shoreline displays ever-changing forms shaped by persistent wind and coastal currents.

Playa de Cofete lies on the Jandía peninsula of Fuerteventura, in the municipality of Pájara, within the Jandía Natural Park. The only building on the beach is the Villa Winter, a house with a tower built by the German engineer Gustav Winter, who acquired large landholdings on the peninsula in the 1930s and 1940s. The coast remained without a paved access road, and the sand and the surrounding hills are protected.

Cofete has no fishing hamlet on the sand itself; the nearest settlement is the small village of Cofete inland, and the beach is reached by an unpaved track from Morro Jable. Visitors notice the absence of buildings, bars and shade along the 14-kilometre shoreline, so the place is used today for walking, surfing and shore fishing rather than for a resident fishing community.

Visiting requires a four-wheel drive vehicle to navigate the unpaved mountain road from Morro Jable, which takes roughly 45 minutes each way. Come prepared for rough road conditions and allow extra time for the journey.

Cofete appears in the 2010 film "Come Reza Ama" (Eat Pray Love), where the beach stands in for a location in India, and the lighthouse and village of Cofete were used as filming locations.
