The Jandía peninsula
The south of the island is a long peninsula with high mountains and, on the eastern side, the beaches and lagoons of Sotavento. Most of it is protected as a natural park.
Cofete
On the western side, Cofete is a beach of more than ten kilometres facing the open Atlantic, with the mountains of Jandía behind it. It is reached by a dirt track over the mountains, with spectacular views on the way.
Safety first
The sea at Cofete is often rough, with strong currents: swimming is dangerous and there are no lifeguards. The track requires care and there are no services nearby, so bring water and plan the return in daylight.
In our Fly & Drive
The 9-day Fly & Drive ends with an excursion to the remote south, to Cofete or Punta de Jandía, after the days of riding between Sotavento, Costa Calma and the centre of the island.
