There are many beautiful beaches all over the world, we all agree on that but there is no other beach as beautiful as this one. Quiet, huge, desert, silent, clean, romantic, sunny, beautiful blonde sand, inspiring. Have a look at this photos first, does the beach not look like the paradise on earth? Is it not your next must visit destination? Having a picnic here? Or maybe sleeping under the stars.... what is more romantic and adventurous than this?
This is Cofete beach at the South corner of Fuerteventura. Fuertevenura is one of the most famous of the Canary islands famous for its sunny weather and its strong winds, perfect for surfing and the outdoors.
So why Cofete beach is so heavenly quiet and empty.
The answer is in another question: how to get to Cofete beach ?
Because this us the issue. There is no major road to Cofete and at the time I visited it was just an unpaved road for which you need a small jeep.
It takes about 2 hours to drive there and you are better to ensure to cost and come back as there is no artificial light and it is easy to lose the track in the dark.
The surprises are not finished.
Villa Winter the only construction in the area offers an additional reason to visit Cofete. The villa was built in secret during the Franchist dictatorship in Spain. Stories are various (and you can easily Google to find a variety of stories) but the most accredited version is that the villa was to be used as a submarine basis by the Germans during World War II. It has been said that the villa was also used to hide Nazi officials escaping from Germany after surrender but it is unclear how much accurarevare these reconstructions.
