Viewpoints in Fuerteventura

Mirador de Morro Jable

The Mirador de Morro Jable looks out from the cliff edge of the old town, in the municipality of Pájara in southern Fuerteventura. From the railing you take in the old houses below, the seafront and the long Jandía shoreline, with Playa del Matorral, the protected saltmarsh and the lighthouse further along. It sits on Calle los Guanches, beside the church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, and is reached on foot from the town itself.

Mirador de Cofete

The Cofete viewpoint looks out over one of the most isolated scenes in Fuerteventura: Cofete beach, fourteen kilometres of fine white sand protected by the bulk of the Jandía mountains. It lies in the municipality of Pájara, inside a protected natural area covering almost the whole Jandía peninsula, formed by the island's oldest volcanic massif. Access is by unpaved track, a journey of roughly an hour and a half.

Mirador del Salmo

A roadside viewpoint in the municipality of Pájara, looking down on the lagoon and sandbar of Playa de Sotavento. The tide redraws the water completely, so it never looks the same twice. Its rainbow bench has become one of the most photographed corners in the south of Fuerteventura.
