This mountain range protects much of the natural territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majesty of the golden sand, almost reddish due to its <strong>volcanic origin<\/strong>, is one of its most beautiful elements, but it is not the only thing you will discover if you explore Cofete Beach in Fuerteventura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roque del Moro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This natural enclave is one of the limits of Cofete Beach in Fuerteventura. This <strong>giant monolith<\/strong> is located in Jand\u00eda Natural Park. Here you will find <strong>veined trachytes<\/strong>, a highly valued material because it resembles marble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a very peaceful place to visit, and you can reach it on foot if you enjoy the long trails that border the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lopesan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Cofete-Beach-in-Fuerteventura.webp\" alt=\"Cofete Beach in Fuerteventura\" class=\"wp-image-20343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lopesan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Cofete-Beach-in-Fuerteventura.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.lopesan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Cofete-Beach-in-Fuerteventura-768x284.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">El Islote de Cofete is a natural rock formation located in the Barlovento area, near the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located <strong>6 km from Cofete Beach<\/strong> is the natural enclave of <strong>El Islote<\/strong>, within the area known as <strong>Barlovento<\/strong>. This trachytic platform is low in elevation and greyish in colour.

This site was built in the <strong>19th century<\/strong> as an alternative to transporting the deceased by dromedary to the church in the municipality of P\u00e1jara, <strong>50 kilometres<\/strong> away, for burial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cemetery is bordered by a wall <strong>40 cm high<\/strong>, which prevents sand from entering the grounds. Inside, wooden crosses and stones mark the resting places of those buried there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cofete Village<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just <strong>one kilometre away<\/strong> from Cofete Beach in Fuerteventura, you can visit a group of 19th-century dwellings. The houses and huts of <strong>Cofete Village<\/strong> were built by the first inhabitants of the area, who made their living from fishing. In the village, there is a caf\u00e9 where delicious <strong>typical island food<\/strong> is served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the east of Cofete Village, there is a bronze statue of <strong>Gustav Winter<\/strong> together with a black dog. This monument welcomes you to another place worth discovering: <strong>Villa Winter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winter House in Cofete, Fuerteventura<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Villa Winter<\/strong> is located a little more than <strong>1.5 km from Cofete Village<\/strong>. This mansion was built in the 1940s and belonged to the German engineer <strong>Gustav Winter<\/strong>, who was considered a spy by the British during the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The house has two floors and is located <strong>130 metres above sea level<\/strong>.
