Cofete is situated on Fuerteventura's West coast. It is a stunning natural beach that goes on for miles. The road from Morro Jable is mostly dirt track, with some narrow parts although the road has been improved in recent years so it is not as difficult to drive on as some internet articles say. We drove there and spent some time on the beach and recommend that you do to. There is a 4x4 bus service if you prefer.

*Thanks for watching!*
What a spectacular beach location -- and it looks largely unspoilt. Thanks for (literally) going the extra mile to show this place.
I went there 20 years ago pre CZcams so no idea what to expect - I was staying in Jandia and just followed my nose in a hire car - totally wow! Glad you finally made it.
Wow. That's truly amazing ! Don't advertise it too much , lets keep some parts of Fuerteventura 'natural'. :)
Its how the grand playa used to be 40 years ago ! So jealous of you both !!!!! Keep well.
Visited it 3 years ago - such a special place which, like you say, is difficult to describe in words.
Recommend taking the 4x4 bus from Morro Jable bus station.
Me and my wife love Fuerteventura. We started to visit the island about 15 years ago. Firstly in Jandia with the kids all inclusive and the past 10 years, at least 2 times a year in a small villa in Corralejo. We thought we had seen it all, done it all. And then you come out with this amazing video. Breathtaking. Thanks a lot! Keep up the great work. Love the vlogs!
Thanks Bart
That’s me sorted with my Fuerteventura fix! Thanks!
Until Boris comes to his senses, you two are keeping my sanity intact 😁👍
Thanks Glenn. Glad to be of service 😉
We have been going to Cofete for many years now and last year 2022 was the most people we have seen down there ever , let’s hope the place doesn’t trashed
Thanks Amelia and Sarah for showing us the spectacular Cofete beach. All I can say is wow 😊😊 and when I can come back to the island it will be on my list as I could not go the last time I was staying in Jandia. Enjoy the sunshine 🌞
Hiya ladies, beautiful. Always enjoyable content. I could listen to those waves all day. Looks like paradise. Wow. What a view while having lunch. Your food looked tasty. Great editing. Cool tunes. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. Take care.
Cofete looked stunning. Followed by a nice lunch. Perfect, thanks both.
Lunch looked good ladies & the beach was absolutely stunning
Amelia i think the word you are both looking for is Paradise. Beautiful. We will have to drive there this year
Yup,u both had the same grin on ur faces that I had went I visited Cofete. In a way the difficulty and remoteness makes it feel more special. Can't believe it's taken u both so long to visit!! Thanks for refreshing the memory of that stunning place.
Thank you both for your videos. I love to watch them. I have just been once to Fuerteventura & your videos help to remind me of it. Although we used to visit Lanzarote nearly every year or somewhere in Spain we never made it back to Fuerteventura so I am exploring it through your videos. The videos just show life as it is happening. so please carry on.
Looks stunning! We tried to go before but we were in a hire car and didn't know if we would make it so turned back. Will definitely give it another go! Thanks for sharing 😊
Loved your vlog, so many people have told us "you've not seen Fuerteventura until you've been to Cofete!" Simply must go on our next visit , looks amazing! Thanks for the taster....😎
Great edit, those beach shots are awesome👌📷
Very cool cool place😎
Hi girls! Couldn’t agree more. That is without doubt one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen added to which, the conservation work they are doing with the turtles is laudable. We went there just before the island quarantined at the start of the pandemic on an organised Land Rover trip with a character of a driver whose approach was what I would describe as “imaginative, unique and quick” which made it all the more exhilarating on the unmade roads. A wonderful day in a very beautiful place and we will certainly go back when we return.
Great video again. I love living through you guys and hope one day I can live somewhere warm and sunny like you do!
The Cofete Beach is amazing! Thank you for the video! I will visit the Cofete Beach in October 2022!
Lovely beach ladies you found there.
The lunch looked good also.
The road did not look that bad, well done
for going down there.
Well we have just watched this video on our TV and were we impressed. Fantastic beach and we are so jealous.
Excellent video ladies. Really nice views. You both painted a nice picture of Cofete.
Glad you enjoyed your visit. Just read up on Villa Winter. Certainly is interesting.
That was really brilliant. It looks so amazing. Well done. My mouth is watering looking at the squid and tuna dishes.
Amazing views and super tranquility. Thanks
Ladies, perhaps on your next visit, consider hiking from your hotel accommodation to the peak - stunning views of Cofete. Or/and hiking over the ridge to Cofete and back - this is from a different start point. Both are reasonably taxing but probably doable for each of you. In fact, you could easily do both as separate day trips from you home.
Great Vid ...Coffee does take your breath away .. Reminded me of the 1st time I visited Sotavento beach.The island always has a surprise up its sleeve, even after my 38 visits over the last 25 years.And having staying in most areas my go to place now is Morro Jable 👍
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Thank you both for that review. Absolutely beautiful.
Will visit that beach in April 2023,thanks girls xx
Lovely video, gorgeous locations, and next time you should try hiking to Cofete across the mountains - it’s an amazing experience!
Hello 👋 ladies
I think the coverage is well balanced and one of the best you two have done.
Under the current cirmstances it's creatively so natural there's nobody that wouldn't want to take time out and visit when we in blighty can return so a big thanks for that alround x
Ian x
My god is there a more stunning place anywhere on earth what a beach
No film for a while girls, I hope everything is ok with both of you. Regards, Chris.
Amazing video as always ladies!! That beach looks absolutely stunning!! Must pay it a visit!! You love your fish dishes don’t you!! Looking forward to your nxt video! 💋
Wow, absolutely stunning.
Pure!
And so nice to see your smiling faces 😉👍
That beach WOW
Hello just thought I'd drop you a line.Think your vlogs are brilliant! Keeping us in touch with Fuerteventura! Don't comment much as I watch on smart TV usually 👍
Thanks Steven 😁
Cofete looks amazing, I'm ex navy and seen lots of beaches , work and holiday, that's up with the best, great vlog .
Wow, spectacular is right. If we get to Morro Jable again, we'll take that bus ride to Cofete. Glad you enjoyed your lunch at La Laja. It's a great little restaurant and we've had lunch at the very same table or, at least, the very same spot. Thanks for the video!
Absolutely stunning paradise can't wait to get back there great video 👏 thanks 😊
What a great place to visit! Thanks to you for another great video. I now know that I must visit in future. The squid also looked good! Enjoy & stay safe.
That puts cofete on the list, great video ladies
Amazing video. I always feel very small when I go to Cofete, I totally agree with you there Sarah!
Thanks ladies, what a wonderful vlog this week. Made me feel very nostalgic but also thankful I'd been there. You may already know this but the Ridley Scott film Exodus...Gods and Kings was part filmed on that beach, the epic ending scene. Worth a watch,for sure
And the fishing is fantastic too!
I was right back there with you ladies, wonderful vid.x
What can be caught from here ?
Thanks, really great video. Definitely going to visit next time we are over, outstanding explanation of your trip there. Thanks for sharing👍
I can't believe you've never been before 😲 it's stunning. You also have a really interesting grave yard around there. Our tour guides highly recommend NOT to swim in the sea due to the very strong currents. I'd also recommend driving further along as there are some beautiful cove beaches and Punta de Jandia
Good to hear the road has improved, last time I visited Cofete was 13 years ago, and I absolutely hated it to drive there (in our hired car). But next time I visit I will give it another try for sure, like you said in the video, it's amazing, kinda magical...
Great vid I really enjoyed it ye two are really showing the island at it's best. Hopefully myself and my can take a trip there in the future things are slowly getting back to normal here in Ireland, keep up the good work luv the videos 🤞fingers crossed for next year.
Great video 👏 Think I asked you both about villa winter on a previous video , at least I got a glimpse of it 😀 We've never been to cofete yet but your video has made our minds up , especially if the road is better .
Thank you very much for your lovely video Fuerteventura I really enjoyed it
Been there so many times and the road is now a lot better than it was. Pity you couldn't visit Villa Winter as it's amazing with it's history and myths, Googling it can become an obsession.
That is awesome, i could live on that beach! Take care and stay safe x
Great vlog Amelia and Sarah. Appreciate the effort that goes into making your videos so enjoyable.
Always informative, laid back and enjoyable to watch and listen to, thank you. What a beach!
Awwww ladies it looks beautiful we are hopefully coming to fortaventura in about 4 weeks we can't wait we love watching your videos keep up the good work guys xxx 👍👍
we have holidayed in Fuerteventura for years, and have never gotten down that far, were coming back soon, so definitely heading there next time. Thanks again, great reminding us of our favorite holiday destination . your Steadicam shots are great, is it internal on your camera?
Reminded me of the final scene in Planet of the apes when Charlton Heston sees the remains of the statue of liberty and realise's he is back on earth!! Truly stunning part of Fuerteventura that a lot of tourists miss.
Thanks Eric. Yes, that’s the only scene from that film that I really remember, I know what you mean
Agree with everything you have said about Cofete. The only thing I would add to your excellent narrative is that the swimming is notoriously dangerous and there have been many drownings there (no life guards) also the turtles lay their eggs there and the hatchings are in October. This place made my mind up about buying a property on the island.
Thanks Glen. I meant to mention both of those things but they completely went out of my head when I was there as I was just so overwhelmed
My partner and I got engaged on Cofete beach. Nice to see it again.
Great place to do it ❤️
Definitely visiting this wonderful beach 🏖 when I come to Fuertaventura next year. Looks wonderful ❤️
Thankyou both for a beautiful look at the beach.
What fantastic place !!
Not somewhere we would be able to visit but just to see the views of the mountains and beach were fantastic.
We look forward to your weekly vlogs.. it brings us a bit closer to visiting our "Happy Place".
Best wishes to you both xx😎😎
Yes spot on
Spectacular vistas, on my bucket list, nice one girl's 👍
Great vlog as usual, keep up the good work, hopefully we'll get back over soon. All the best Nick, Michaela & Ryan (The Caleta Fans )
Brilliant! Looks an amazing place!
Ahh what a great vid! There's something very magical and otherworldy about the island, it has stolen a bit of my heart
Oh, I would love to have a walk in Cofete Beach, very mesmerizing! 💙 Thank you for sharing it.
Your both right Cofete looked beautiful and your also right about Casa de los Winter I googled it, we’ve got to visit that area when we are next in fuerteventura👍👏🥂
Hi girl's,
Thanks for the nice information from Fuerteventura
My wife and I have eaten very often in the Laja restaurant in recent years and we look forward to being back in Fuerteventura soon.
We are looking forward to the next information and wish you a lot of fun and stay healthy.
Greetings Herbert from Germany
Thanks Herbert
Thank you ladies for another amazing vlog, omg that beach, breathtaking 😳
Stay safe girls 👍🏻😎
Absolutely stunning views. Will have to go there thanks for this one . 💐👏👏
Thanks,great down to earth no nonsense review.This has made my mind up to plan a trip.
I've booked up to come away January 1st , I've been before a few years back,I wanted to get a feel of the place again,I come across your CZcams channel,I'm glad I did, you have some great videos with some great information,I also subscribed 🤗👍 keep up the wonderful work,👍👍🙏
Another fab vlog ladies 👍🏼 Such a lovely place, definitely another one to pop on my list for when we are over 🤞🏼 in December. Cofete beach and the surrounding area looks amazing…and Morro Jable old town from your part 1 vlog looks lovely. We have been to morro jable but only to the main strip and the market. Thanks for giving us the insight into the area 👍🏼 Keep safe and look after each other 😎🌞😎
It's a wonderful location and worth the effort to get there. Have you considered doing the trail/hike up Pico de la Zarza it also gives great views down onto the beach. It's not to arduous with a clearly defined track.
Thanks Paul. Someone else has also recommended that hike to us so we will investigate further!
Absolutely beautiful and the beach looks good as well hehe. Thank you
thank You Cofete looks fabulous. I haven't been there. Is that the beach where they put the turtle eggs some years ago?
Hi Jo. Yes the turtle sanctuary in Morro Jable do that every year I believe and also release rehabilitated turtles back into the wild there. I’d love to see that
Thanks again girls for another excellent review, you both are keeping us entertained during these difficult times. Hopefully I’ll get back to the hotel Barcelo Cala de Fuste and visit some these villages in stead of sitting around the pool bar. Kind Regards from the Glasgow
Hi Sarah & Amelia, thanks for another great Vlog, what a fantastic place to visit. We've managed to get a flight out of Bordeaux week on Saturday to Lanzarote & then a ferry to Fuetraventura. We're so looking forward to it & hoping to see a lot of the places we've seen on your videos. Have a good week 😊
Andy I am doing similar in July, any tips for the trip from Aricefe Airport?
@@glennharrop7542 Hi Glenn. We’re off there a week on Saturday, we’re hoping to get a taxi or local bus from the airport to the ferry. I’ll let you know how it goes 😊
Thanks Andy. Have a great trip
You summed that up really well. It's breathtaking scenery.I'm really enjoying your vlogs. Well done ladies. I suggest you try the walk up Pico de la Zarza that ends with a great view of Cofete. If you like a good hike, you'll love that.
Thanks Phil and thank you for the recommendation
Is there any updates on travel. We are due for an unlock 17th July in UK. There is talk of having to show proof of both Jabs, which we both have. At the moment the Canaries are not on the UK green list. We are due to go to the Barcelo in mid Sept , so fingers crossed. The UK seem to have concerns over how many people have had the Jab's. Just wondered how the Immunisation is going there. Regards from Steve & Bev.
Stunning views.
Perfect beach to do Some meditation. ❤️😌
Great video! Love to see more about tha villa Winter :-)
@sarah bolger n @amelia bolger fantastic video n I agree with a previous comment your vids are now looking seriously well made professionally I mean as they've always been great.
Lunch looks epic, love how yous always show us somewhere to eat so we know where to pop in when we're there👍
Are people quarantining? We have 7 nights booked fur October n really don't wanna have to spend 5 in quarantine as it's basically our honeymoon as we daint have one when we got married 9 year's ago n are sooo excited to come to the beautiful island but not about quarantine xx
Edited 👍
Hi Alyssa. There’s no quarantine here but there may be when you go home depending on where you live and what your government says at the time. Oh and it’s Bolger not Bulger. Thanks for watching
@@sarahbolgerBolgy sorry for the name mistake, I knew it's Bolger too dunno why I made that mistake but I sincerely apolagise tya both👍 that's awesome I'm sooo happy to hear that, we're so excited about coming to the beautiful island 🤩
Your vlogs have inspired us to contemplate emigrating too, not sure where (although I'd love to go Lanzarote to live but we will need to visit first as never been.) Also unsure of how difficult it'll be with the pandemic 🤞 it'll be sorted within the timeframe we've set.
Have I missed your latest island trip or have yous not been yet? If that's the case will it be soon huns xx
Ps, edited the mix up fya girls
@@alyssasmith6393 no need to apologise, I’ve been called worse 😄. The intra island flights are expensive at the moment and since Brexit we no longer get our 75% resident’s discount so we’re holding off until the prices come down
@@sarahbolgerBolgy aww no way 🙄there's always some silly people out there who have a warped view that making others sad/angry/miserable will help improve their bad lives as generally people like this aren't having good lives n are clearly mean so I'm sure you'll not but gotta say tek no notice - haters will always hate n lovers will always love 💖
Ooft yous def done it at the right time then, wish yous went 5 years previously n I'd found your vids n then we'd of decided 😏
Off for a chill seen as our weather is 18° today, feels lovely although other parts of the country are up hitting 30, it'd b too much with the heat here being different to abroad.
Have a lovely evening Sarah n Amelia n looking forward to your next load of vids 👍😘xxx
that beach looked lovely lunch looked very nice love your videos always well Explained take care both of you 😀
Hi girls great vlog I've always wanted to visit Cofete but I was worried about the road, did you notice if it was naturist there on the beach? We always stay in Club Magic Life near Jandia, have done for the past 9 years and we'll be there again in September all being well. Last year was cancelled xx
Hi Steve. I did notice one or two people going into the sea naked so it may well be naturist although most people were in beach wear
Nice vlog ( as usual ) , we are coming over in a couple of days and this time i'll get over my high anxiety issue and will enjoy Cofete :-)
Am there in 2 weeks. Can't wait to go there. Brill vid ladies thanks. Sold.
Girls, a few drone shots would add an additional awesome dimension 👌
Love the editing as well🙂🙂
Hello ladies and firstly I know it's only a few weeks since your vlog etc...but I think it would be great to get your update on the reality on the whole scope of tourism into the island where from what's open local to you what's not constraints etc re dining masks entertainment etc.
Media update happens but on the ground updates from you as a reality check I think would be welcome.
We know covid levels on parts of mainland Spain exist as they do Gran canaria and Tenerife and also announced the worry other islands have to!...
If tourism isn't arriving in to fuerte or lanz from England yet covid levels are a worry where is it being carried from??..
I've looked at prices for coming over again but they are heavily inflated in reality not airfares in isolation but the whole scope of a three or four week trip .
Ponder on your thoughts as usual and let us all have the reality check before we sensily become too optimistic and regret the experience for one reason or another.
Take care regards Ian x x
Excellent video, I agree with everything you said about Cofete.
Lovely video! Thanks for giving us the idea to plan a visit in near future.🥰
Missing the vlogs. Hope all ok.
Thank you for your vlogs. They are very informative. Soon we are going from Poland on our 2 weeks family holiday and will stay in Caleta de Fuste. It will be our main hub and we are going to travel around the island by car. Cofete is definitely on our “to do” list. Leaving on Tuesday. See you there.
Lovely beach. Have to go there. What's the definition of off-road in the rental contract? Because for me they're perfectly normal roads, just without tarmac.
Hi Eskil. I’m guessing anything that isn’t a tarmac road is considered ‘off road’. There’s lots of these sorts of roads here, some better than others. I think most people would take the chance in a hire car, and be fine but if there was an issue, eg. collision or flat tyre your may not be covered by their insurance and have to pay out of your own pocket
@@sarahbolgerBolgy Bummer. That's a large part of Fuerte you miss out on, if you follow the rules. I'd say the most common damage you risk is a stone chipped windscreen/ headlight/ paint job, or a broken left mirror. Due to narrow and gravelly road conditions.
And in those cases you are in the hands of your fellow drivers, it doesn't matter how cautious you are yourself.
@@eskileriksson4457 I agree, which is why I think most people don’t follow the rules 😉
amazing video what a place.
Excellent vlog.Thank you both.
