Beaches to discover

Fuerteventura is famous for its long stretches of sand, turquoise waters and unspoilt coastal landscapes. Close to Corralejo, you can enjoy the white-sand beaches of the Natural Park, peaceful coves and easy access to the sea as part of your everyday life. Further south, Cofete Beach reveals a completely different side of the island. Located in the Jandía Peninsula, this spectacular wild beach extends for around 12 kilometres between the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains. Its remote setting and powerful scenery make it one of Fuerteventura’s most impressive natural treasures. The sea can be rough, so Cofete is better suited to walking and enjoying the landscape than swimming.
