Formentera is the smallest of the
Balearic islands being only 13 miles long
with a population of approx 5000. Having no airport, it is
only accessible by boat. This has kept the island unspoiled by
mass tourism. The beaches are clean and quiet. If you want to
get away from it all and just enjoy peace and quiet, the tranquility
of Formentera might be just what you're looking for. To get to
Formentera you have to catch a ferry in Ibiza for the three mile
journey which takes about thirty minutes. The boats are fairly
regular leaving every two hours. The cost of the ferry is about £30
for foot passengers and from £120 with car and two passengers.
Formentera is a favourite with scuba divers and snorkellers because
of its crystal clear water. The island permits nudism on
some of its beaches ,the beach at Illetes is set aside as a
nudist beach. There are plenty of activities to keep most
people happy, including cycling, swimming, sailing, fishing, bird
watching and photography but don't come expecting nightclubs,
disco's or any of the wilder excesses of neighboring Ibiza,
most people come for the laid back atmosphere and the tranquility.
There are some super fishing villages where you can sample the
locally caught seafood. If you need any specific information
about the island, you can contact the local tourist office on
