Beaches and coves of Formentera

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.

Which beach suits your day?

The north and its two shores

Ses Illetes and Llevant

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.

The south coast, one stretch at a time

Migjorn

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.

Cala Saona and the Es Caló area

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.

Check the wind before you choose

Look at the wind direction, strength and gusts forecast for the hours you plan to spend on the beach. Windguru has a specific forecast for Formentera to help you plan your day.

Access and facilities

Check where to park and how to walk to your chosen spot. Bring water and sun protection; do not assume facilities will be open, especially outside summer.

Dunes and shoreline

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.
