At your own pace, by the sea
A beach day in Formentera might mean a long walk along the shore, a morning exploring coves or a few hours simply watching the sea. Choose an area for the scenery you fancy and check the wind before setting off: the same beach can change from one day to the next.
The north and its two shores
Pale sand, dunes and sea on both sides of the es Trucadors peninsula. These beaches are in the natural park: use the boardwalks and marked entrances. Check current access conditions before travelling by car or motorbike.
For enjoying the scenery and walking by the sea.
The south coast, one stretch at a time
A broad coastline with sandy stretches and rocky areas. Choose a particular spot and its access route before setting off: a day at Migjorn can mean very different places.
For discovering a different spot on each visit.
Coves and contrasting scenery
Cala Saona, in the west, and the small coastal spots around Es Caló offer other ways to enjoy the sea. Check access at each location, especially with children or if you need to avoid steps and rocks.
For those who prefer exploring smaller spots.

Keep to paths and boardwalks, avoid walking on dunes and take all your rubbish with you. Enjoying the beach also means caring for what makes it special.
