The best beaches in Formentera to enjoy with the family
Despite being the smallest island of the Balearic Islands, Formentera has beaches to suit everyone’s tastes: beaches that are perfect for children, for diving, for nudism, as well as quiet and livelier beaches.
Migjorn Beach
If you’re looking for a beach to go to with the family, you can’t miss Migjorn beach: a long beach, located on the south coast of Formentera, which offers a wide variety of services. It has a free car park, access to the beach for people with reduced mobility and plenty of terraces and restaurants.

Cala Saona, 5 kilometres from Sant Francesc, is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. It stands out for its calm and shallow waters, and for offering impressive sunsets. It has traditional fishermen’s huts and several beach bars.
Best beaches in Formentera for diving
Due to the excellent quality and transparency of its waters, there are many beaches in Formentera, perfect for diving or snorkelling.
Cavall d’en Borràs
One of these beaches is known as Cavall d’en Borràs. This is the first beach you come across upon entering the Eivissa and Formentera Salt Flats Natural Park. It is not as well known as Ses Illetes beach, but thanks to its dune system, its juniper forest and the transparency of its waters, it is also fabulous. Moreover, from here you can see the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell. It is perfect for diving because you will find areas of posidonia oceanica on the seabed.
Caves for diving
The caves of Punta Rasa, Punta Prima, Cala en Baster or Ses Platgetes are other perfect places for diving in Formentera.
