help Playa de Ses Illetes FAQ
Do you have to pay to enter Playa de Ses Illetes?
Pedestrian and bicycle access is free, but cars and motorbikes normally pay a seasonal vehicle-access charge for the Ses Salines Natural Park. The fee and traffic-control period vary, so travelers should check Formentera's current park information.
How do you reach Ses Illetes without a car?
Visitors can travel from La Savina by bicycle, on foot, by seasonal bus or by taxi. The beach lies along the narrow Es Trucadors peninsula in northern Formentera.
Can you walk from Ses Illetes to Espalmador?
Espalmador looks very close from the peninsula's northern tip, but the channel between the islands has currents and should not be treated as a safe walking crossing. Visitors should use an authorized boat service rather than attempting to wade or swim across.
Why is the water at Ses Illetes so clear?
The surrounding seabed includes Posidonia oceanica meadows that trap sediment, produce oxygen and protect the coast from erosion. The Posidonia meadows between Ibiza and Formentera form part of a UNESCO World Heritage property recognized in 1999.
