Getting to Cofete
The approach is part of the visit. The final stretch follows an unsealed road through the Jandía landscape, with rocky and difficult sections. The island’s tourist board recommends a 4×4. Check that your vehicle and rental agreement are suitable before setting off, and allow room in your plans for the return journey.
Planning your visit to Cofete
This is a beach for long shoreline walks, landscape photography and the mountain backdrop. A small village with a restaurant sits near the beach access, but services are limited along the sand. Bring drinking water and sun protection, and take your rubbish away.
