Platja de Formentor
Platja de Formentor, 07460, Spain
Platja de Formentor is a famous crescent-shaped beach on the tip of the Formentor peninsula, prized for its soft pale sand, clear turquoise water and a fringe of pine trees that provide natural shade — an idyllic spot for swimming, sunbathing and gentle snorkelling in a dramatic mountain-and-sea setting.
What Makes It Special
What makes it special is the combination of a sheltered, postcard‑perfect bay backed by pine‑clad slopes and reached via a scenic, winding coastal road and viewpoints — you get both calm, crystal water for swimming and shaded spots under the pines almost right on the sand.
Insider Tips
Aim to arrive early morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest hours and limited parking on the narrow access road; bring water, sun protection and snorkelling gear since facilities are basic and the beach has no wheelchair access — alternatively consider arriving by boat from Port de Pollença in high season to skip the drive.
