Gorgeous beaches, no question, BUT you need to be aware that the walk from the last parking spot (and we were there on a scooter, not by car) to the most beautiful spots on the beach is still a very long stretch! You’ll easily walk 30-40min to get there! Please make sure to factor this into your plans for the day!

Wonderful beach. If you start from the port, you can hop right on bus L3 (€10 flat fare), which takes you to a nearby parking lot. From there, it's a good 20-minute walk to the actual beach stretch. However, it's totally worth it; most people stop at the sections before it. There are two or three restaurants/bars along the way. Taxis can drive further than the bus (you can call one there too). Alternatively, bikes/scooters also get further than the bus. The beach was busy, but in the smaller sections it was perfectly fine and quiet. In the evening, it empties out quickly. Water super clear.
A gorgeous beach with crystal-clear water. It is simply beautiful here and also very clean. We arrived by bus and then walked the rest of the way. It's definitely worth it. Near the shore there are lots of small fish, though in deeper water I unfortunately only saw one larger fish. You can walk out very far into the water, so it's also great for children.
The beach and the water are actually breathtakingly beautiful. But from the island government's side, nobody cares for this supposedly protected area for which you have to pay an entrance fee per vehicle. What are they doing with the money? Cleaning the beach obviously isn't it. Deeply disappointed! 30.9.2026 "Platja de Ses Illetes"
If you are in Formentera, visit this beach without hesitation. You can easily get to the island of Formentera from Ibiza. Why fly to the Caribbean or the Maldives? Here you have everything you need and so much more. Charm and authentic beaches. Formentera! Rent a bike or scooter and enjoy the island.
