Playa Migjorn

Formenetera's longest natural beach.

This ca. 6.5 km long, gently sloping natural beach is not only the longest but also one of the most beautiful and popular beaches of the island. It stretches almost over the entire south coast of Formentera and therefore entices to extended walks on the beach. Again and again smaller rocks form remote sections and intimate bays where you can find a secluded and cosy place for sunbathing even in midsummer. The fine sand and crystal clear water with its calm waves emanates pleasant harmony. On the „Beach of the South Wind“ there is no dress code; everyone can move around as he or she likes. Depending on the season and the ocean currents the wind may sometimes wash ashore seaweed from the submarine fields of the sea but this is completely harmless.

In the direction of the inner island there are sand dunes at the end of the beach which partly – especially in the east – reach up to the wide pinewoods. This hinterland of the Playa Migjorn and the beach is not high-density developed. The hotels and apartment resorts, restaurants, shops, beach kiosks, cafés and bars are dotted either directly on the beach or only a few minutes walk away in the dunes. The „Noon Beach“, as it is also called, is renowned for its romantic sunsets, which you may enjoy on your sunlounger or a barstool. Playa Arenals (see Playa Arenals) is the most eastern part of the Playa Migjorn.
