Some of them, on which all the tourist guides agree, are the following.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitformentera.com\/playas-formentera\/playa-illetas.php\">beach of Ses Illetes<\/a> is, without a doubt, the best known of all. In the middle of the Natural Park of Ses Salines, this beach has incomparable crystal clear waters. It is the stopping point of all yachts and nautical fans.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is not a family beach. The reason: the high prices and the limited gastronomic offer for the little ones in their beach bars and restaurants. It is a beach dedicated to extreme luxury, a trend that has been flooding the two islands for a few years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-710\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-710 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sargamassa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/09-01-01-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Ses Illetes has incomparable crystal clear waters. Yachts are indivisible in their image during the summer months.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the contrary, we found beaches that are Family Friendly. We are talking about the whole of Es Cal\u00f3 and the immense <a href=\"http:\/\/www.formenteraisla.es\/playa\/playa-de-migjorn.html\">Platja de Migjorn<\/a>. The first is divided into small sandy areas separated by rocky sections; the second is a kilometric beach of sand.<\/p>\n<p>Es Cal\u00f3 is oriented to the north, Migjorn to the south. A short road joins them, so if the sea is rough, it is ideal to be able to change to the other where we will surely find calmer waters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_715\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-715\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-715 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sargamassa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/09-01-02-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The image is taken from El Mirador de Formentera.

The access with vehicles has been restricted a couple of years ago, so you should leave the car about 2km from the lighthouse and walk. This measure was taken to eliminate the saturation of vehicles suffered by the area.<\/p>\n<p>Famous for being featured in the Spanish film <em>Luc\u00eda y el Sexo<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.formenteraisla.es\/visita\/faro-de-cap-de-barbaria.html\">the lighthouse<\/a> is one of the most modern of the islands. Below it is a small cave which is accessed through a hole. The cave gives infinite views to the sea. In front of that landscape, there are no words needed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_720\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-720\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-720 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sargamassa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/09-01-03-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The most famous image of the Barbaria Lighthouse.

The highest point of the island is formed by a plateau crowned by this guide light.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this lighthouse personally, as it is priceless to eat with your feet hanging down the cliff while looking at the sea. The immensity of the blue of the sea and the sky reminds us of how small we are, and how great is the magic of nature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_705\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-705\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-705 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sargamassa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/09-01-04-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The lighthouse of La Mola crowns the cliffs.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><strong>How to get to Formentera from the S&#8217;Argamassa Palace<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A ferry connects Cala Pada directly with Formentera.
