The majestic Roque del Moro, the finest beach on Fuerteventura
In the distance a rock rises from the water like a giant monolith: the majestic Roque del Moro. There is nothing and no one left here. Only the finest beach on Fuerteventura.
The beach of Roque del Moro
Fuerteventura is the ideal country for your beach holiday, with so many sandy beaches. Along the calmer coastline there is plenty of swimming and pleasure at an agreeable temperature.
De rock Roque del Moro lies on the wild side of the island. Swimming is almost never possible there, perhaps at low tide in natural pools. But the water can rise again at any moment…
The The beach at Roque del Moro turns out to be the finest on Fuerteventura. An extraordinary jewel of golden sand at a great distance from civilisation. Calm and wildness come together.
- After the endlessness of Cofete it now feels as though you are reaching the end of the world. For the full experience we would advise visiting the beach of Cofete first, and then this one.
A challenging road and walk to get there
You can hire a car and drive from Morro Jable to Cofete along ravines and hairpin bends. Then, on the way back, you turn right just before you would carry on climbing.
The narrow road is still unsurfaced and you have to pay attention. Eventually you park the car on a natural ‘parking deck’ and walk down. After that the real walk begins.
From this considerable distance you can already see the ‘monolith’. There is still a good stretch to cover. A reward for the eye, because it feels as though you are walking on Mars and on the moon at once.
- The disorienting landscape opens out onto a golden sandy beach of epic proportions. Once you have covered most of that too, you are there: the rock and the beach of Roque del Moro.
Roque del Moro: calm and wildness
Want to get away from the crowds? Away from the inhabited world? This is the ultimate place, and a unique one. Take a towel and enough drinking water, and enjoy the pure freedom. And the wildness: this is still Fuerteventura.
Against the mountains there are sheltered spots where you can bake in the sun. Completely alone in the world. With a view of that almost mysterious rock.
