Formentera
The tiny island of Formentera covers 35 square miles (90 sq km)
and is home to just over 5,000 people. It can only be reached by
ferry from Ibiza town, with a regular service running every two
hours. The island is a popular day trip from Ibiza, and is
relatively unspoilt by tourism development; accommodation options
are very limited. The main attractions of this flat piece of land
are some pretty villages and marvellous beaches flanked by palms
and pines, many frequented by nudists. The best way to explore it
is on a rented moped. The main port is La Sabina, and the other
villages include beautiful Las Salinas, San Francisco Javier and
San Fernando, all featuring quaint white-washed houses. Recommended
beaches are Es Pujols in the north, Mitjorn in the south, and Cala
Saona in the wild west. Other beaches of note are En Boster, Ca'n
Xico Mateu and the natural port of Es Calo. The highest point on
the island is in the southeast corner at El Mirador.
