Cofete beach
Edit SpotAbout
It's a pity that risc to get closed-out is such high. Otherwise it would be a great alternative in the south of Fuerte.
Additional Info:
Stay out when gets big or closing out, especially on W swell and offshore winds. Distributed strong rips and closeouts can make this spot very dangerous.
If you get in trouble there is nobody around to take you out, no coastguard facilities on this side of the island, sometimes no cellphone coverage.
Location
Loading...Access
A 45 minutes drive on the unsealed road from Morro Jable. Cofete is signposted. 4x4 recommanded, but standard car also possible, just take care at the blind curves (horn before and slow down or you'll fly down the rocks). Parking direct at the beach. There is also a very small village with a very small bar.
This is a remote beach. Few people sunbathing and nobody in the water.
