Beaches of Formentera

Platjas de Ses Illetes

This beach features a string of dunes, collectively called Ses Illetes that stretches out to the tip of the Trucador Peninsula at Es Pau. While white sands dot the coastline, a powder of pink coral gives this beach its unique characteristic. Its shallow and clear crystal waters offer a glimpse of the underwater word of aquatic creatures. The fairly constant breezes make this beach ideal for windsurfing. Nudists will also be delighted to know that because it is situated in the natural park of Ses Salines, its distance makes it less visited by tourists.

Platja de Llevant

Characterised by fine white and gold sands, this nudist beach stretches 1,500 meters in length. It is lies between Punta des Trucadors, which is the northernmost point of Formentera, and Playa des Canyers. Platja de Llevant is one of the few Formentera beaches that feature rocky headlands and dunes that surround the coast. It is also often referred to as Tanga, which is actually the name of a popular bar on the beach. Visitors can enjoy several water sports such as sailing. It is accessible by car, motorcycle, or on foot, in which case wooden walkways make the journey more comfortable.

Cala Saona

Although one of the smallest beaches in the Formentera island, Cala Saona does not lack in beauty and has its fair share of white sands and brownish rocks. Along with the magnificent view of the western part of the island, this beach's landscape is dotted by restaurants that boast of authentic Mediterranean cuisine and bars that keep the Formentera nightlife alive. This secluded bay is characterized by emerald-green clear water that glitters under the Formentera sun.

Platja de Migjorn

One of the biggest beaches on the island, the white sands of Migjorn stretches along a large part of the southern coast, from La Mola to Es Cap de Barbaria. In spite of its size and alluring beauty, it is one of the least visited beaches in the Formentera island, making it a veritable destination for nudists.

Platja des Cavall d'en Borràs

On the west coast of Formentera island lies Cavall d'en Borràs beach. A peaceful haven of crystal blue waters and white sands, this beach offers tourists a view of yachts and boats that are anchored off the port of Es Vedrà. It derives its name from two facts: the rocky point which borders its area to the south and from a Mallorcan company that produced the popular Formentera salt in the island,

Es Caló

Situated on the northeast part of Formentera island is the picturesque fishermen’s village, Es Calo de Sant Augusti. It is one of the relatively small beaches of the island measuring approximately 50 meters in length. Because of it located, Es Calo is ideal for snorkeling. Tourists are also in for a treat from the cuisines offered by the small restaurants and bars that are found in the area.
