Illetas

Illetas in the nature reserve on Formentera’s northern headland is one of the finest beaches in the Balearics – hence its azure waters grace the pages of many a travel catalogue. In high season, countless yachts anchor in the bay and it gets really crowded on the beach. It's a good spot out of season though: Poniente offers the choice of offshore flat-water on the east coast or onshore waves to the west of the sandbar. It’s best in south-westerly, while Levante usually means freeride on both sides. If you didn’t arrive at the park by boat, bicycle or on foot, admission costs about €4.
