The finest beaches on Formentera not on Es Pujols, but are to be found on the Trucador peninsula, which is a long stretch of flat land that reaches out from the north of Formentera. It is virtually connected to the neighboring island of Espalmador. It is made up of shallow warm waters that sparkle in the sun, and uninterrupted white beaches.

If you want to visit Es Trucadors it is an easy trip just out of Port de la Savina. You can either walk or rent a bicycle, and then head along Es Cavall d’en Borras. As you go up with see the Ses Salines saltworks on your right, and walk over the inlet that lets freshwater into Estany Pudent to keep it from getting too stinky. Once you get to the old mill of Moli des Carregador you are at the start of Es Trucadors.

Once you have got past Past Moli des Carregador you will walk along the peninsula’s western edge and discover a number of wonderful beaches, each with its own name: Es Moli de Sal, El Pirata, Big Sur, El Tiburon, Juan y Andrea and Es Ministere. These beaches look out onto the islets of Illa Tramuntana, Illa Rodona, and Illa des Pouet. It is these islets that give the western edge the name of Ses Illetes. The eastern edge is made up of a straight white beach called Llevant.

The LLevant beach is made up of Llevant Beach and Tanga Beach. As you look down the coastline the white sands are seemingly endless. There are no buildings to spoil the view and you can enjoy uninterrupted nature. This is one of the Mediterranean’s best beaches and if you follow it down south bound it leads to Ses Salines, Platja de Sa Roqueta and Platja des Canyers.

If you go right to the top of Es Trucadors then you reach a strip of sand around 30 meters in width that have the ocean on either side. You can’t beat a double beach! And just north of that is Es Pas – the stretch of water that separates Formentera from Espalmador.

If the eastern side of Es Trucadors is windy then you can just head over to the western side, and vice versa. Thanks to the geography of the island it is never the case that both sides are windy at the same time.
