Cofete beach sweeping beneath the Jandía mountains on Fuerteventura's wild west coast.

Fuerteventura · Western Jandía

Cofete

Twelve wild kilometres, and a bus that goes

Cofete is twelve kilometres of blond sand and rough Atlantic under the Jandía mountains, so untouched that the tourism board says the word virgin was invented for it. The board also says it takes a 4x4 to get there, but line 111 crosses the dirt track from Morro Jable every day: no seat reservations, and a return time printed only as an estimate.

Times read from the operator’s line pages on 12 Oct 2026; shown until 26 Nov 2026. On a public holiday TIADHE runs its "Domingos, Festivos" table, the Sun & holidays tab. The Canary public holidays in this timetable's window are 12 October and 2 November 2026 (Gobierno de Canarias calendar), and the next bus follows that tab on those days; municipal holidays vary and are not mapped here, so on a local holiday read Sun & holidays yourself. Trips keyed "no festivos" are already left off it. TIADHE prints departure times only; the bus reaches intermediate stops later. Times are Canary Islands time, the island’s own clock (one hour behind mainland Spain).

First reach Morro Jable using the appropriate guide. TIADHE publishes line 111 for the unpaved Cofete and Punta de Jandía corridor, but it is a limited remote service, two departures a day each way: fix the full return before leaving. This page makes no claim that seats, a particular departure or access are available on your date.

Before you settle in

Keep the way home in mind.

Save the exact line 111 return and identify where to board before walking away. Road or weather conditions can affect a remote journey, so allow for a late or missing return and be ready to abandon the outing if the return is uncertain. A guided Cofete transfer is a separate product with its own instructions, not a substitute timetable for line 111.

If the bus does not work

When line 111 does not work

The Cofete tour on GetYourGuide uses its own transfer and booking instructions and is the arranged alternative when the bus is full, the road is closed or the estimated return is too uncertain for your day; it is not line 111, and it does not change the beach's wild seas.

Cofete on Fuerteventura’s bus map

A little introduction

Get to know Cofete.

Cofete is where Fuerteventura stops feeling convenient and becomes elemental. Beyond Jandía's mountain wall, an immense sweep of sand meets a forceful Atlantic with almost no development in view. The difficult dirt-and-rock approach is part of the reality, not adventurous decoration. Come to absorb the scale, walk conservatively and understand why the return decision belongs at the beginning of the day.

Why go

  1. The scale of it

    Twelve kilometres, scarce houses, no paved road: one of the wildest and largest beaches in the Canary Islands.

  2. 8.5 kilometres of dirt and rock

    The track from Morro Jable is 8.5 kilometres of dirt and rock with difficult sections. On the bus, someone else drives it, and you get to watch the Jandía mountains, the El Islote headland and the open Atlantic come into view.

  3. A bus actually goes

    Line 111 runs every day from Morro Jable to Cofete, Puerto de la Cruz and the lighthouse at Punta de Jandía.

What to do in Cofete

  • Sight Don’t miss

    The first view over the Cofete coast

    The descent opens a long meeting of mountains, surf and sand that is more powerful than any single attraction. Give the panorama time, but follow current road, route and local restrictions; a viewpoint on an unpaved approach is not a place to improvise a missed connection.

  • Walk Don’t miss

    Beach walks beside the Jandía massif

    Walking reveals the beach's scale while keeping you out of what official tourism calls wild seas. Treat the Atlantic with utmost respect, stay well clear of breaking surf and turn back early enough for the transport plan.

  • Sight Don’t miss

    Cofete hamlet and Villa Winter setting

    The small village shows that Cofete is also a lived place. Villa Winter sits against the mountain backdrop, surrounded by stories that official tourism itself describes as unconfirmed. Appreciate the setting without presenting speculation as history or assuming entry to private interiors.

  • Walk

    Walk north or south, stay out of the surf

    The way to spend Cofete is a long walk north or south along the sand. There is no lifeguard, the wind and waves are strong, and the tourism board asks for caution in the water: stay well back from the breakers.

  • Sight

    One restaurant, then nothing built

    Past the small village with its restaurant the road ends and the beach begins: 6,100 metres of listed length, a nudist zone, parking for the few who drive the track, and no shop or shade, so what you carry from Morro Jable is what you have.

  • Sight

    Casa Winter, a story the tourism board calls legend

    On a rise above the beach stands one of the few buildings on this coast, the old Casa Winter mansion, whose history the tourism board calls full of legends. Legends is the right word, and this page leaves them there: look from the beach, and keep the afternoon bus in mind.

Good to know

Small details. Better days.

Show 2 local tips Show fewer

  • Pack for no convenient fallback

    Carry water, sun and wind protection, food appropriate to your needs and an offline record of the return. Sparse development means you should not rely on shops, shade, mobile reception or an on-demand ride rescuing a loose plan.

  • Choose public line or arranged tour deliberately

    Line 111 is public transport; the verified Cofete tour uses its own transfer and booking instructions. Compare the current practical fit, then follow only the chosen operator's meeting and return details. Neither option changes what official tourism calls the beach's wild seas.
