A low-slung 4x4 rattles over volcanic scree and wind-swept ridges, tires throwing up a fine Canary dust that quickly settles as the desert thins and the Atlantic opens. In the space of an hour you go from resort frontage to an uninterrupted run of sand: Cofete’s more-than-12-kilometre beach stretches like an empty stage where waves test the shore.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

A low-slung 4x4 rattles over volcanic scree and wind-swept ridges, tires throwing up a fine Canary dust that quickly settles as the desert thins and the Atlantic opens. In the space of an hour you go from resort frontage to an uninterrupted run of sand: Cofete’s more-than-12-kilometre beach stretches like an empty stage where waves test the shore.
This route crosses Jandía Natural Park, a landscape carved by ancient volcanism and shaped by relentless wind and sea. Human history here is sparse; small fishing hamlets like Puertito de la Cruz grew from salt and lobster fishing, and the Punta Jandía lighthouse—standing at the island’s southwestern point—has long guided mariners along currents that converge and push hard against the headland.
Expect varied terrain: mountain tracks, desert plains, and rough dirt roads that require a capable 4x4. The guide provides regional context and stops for photos, short walks, and a village break where you can grab a drink.
Practical edge: the beach is wild—strong currents and no lifeguards—so swimming is risky. There are minimal facilities at Cofete, so carry water, sun protection, and snacks. Wear closed-toe shoes for rocky viewpoints and a windproof layer; mornings and late afternoons offer the best light and calmer winds for photography. The tour is roughly five hours with hotel pickup from Morro Jable/Costa Calma areas and is suited to travelers who want remote coastal scenery without long hikes. Respect park signage, stay on established tracks, and leave no trace—this is a fragile shoreline with dramatic rewards for responsible visitors.
easy.
Approximately 5 hours.
Minimal walking required; passengers should be able to climb in/out of a vehicle and stand for short viewpoints
Pickup is provided from hotels in Morro Jable, Butihondo, Costa Calma and Tarajalejo—confirm your pickup point when booking.
Swimming is not recommended due to strong currents and no lifeguards; the beach is best for walking, photos and beachcombing.
The tour suits most ages but involves getting in/out of a 4x4 and uneven surfaces—check with the operator about infant seats and accessibility needs.
There’s a stop in Puertito de la Cruz where you can buy a drink or snack, but facilities at Cofete are minimal so bring supplies if needed.
Jandía’s isolation shaped small fishing communities and a lighthouse at the tip; the landscape records volcanic origins and slow marine erosion.
Jandía is a protected natural park—stick to marked tracks, avoid driving on dunes and carry out all waste to protect fragile habitats.
