Illetes Beach, in the north of the island and the nearest to Espalmador Isle, is the most visited by tourists. It is the most accessible beach for those who go to Formentera on a day trip due to its nearness to La Savina port. The lack of waves and the wide spectrum of turquoises make the water feel like a swimming pool. Even though it is the busiest beach, walking further down the last authorised parking you can find many quieter and almost desert-like stretches.

This is the longest beach in Formentera, with a 5 km extension that takes up all of the southern arch of the island. In it you can find a rocky and a sandy area. The great extension and geographical location make it one of the calmest beaches. It is accessible through several paths that cross the forest. The beach offers restaurants, hotels and water sports business, but not finding it extremely crowded.

La Mola lighthouse, in the west side of the island, is considered by many visitors like a magic place. Near the lighthouse you will find a a monolith placed in honour of writer Julius Verne and his mention of the island and the lighthouse in the book Héctor Servadac. The island's highest point is Sa Talaissa, at 195 metres. La Mola is a great starting point to the paths that cross the forests and enter the most rural and authentic landscapes of the island, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists, except during the artisan market.
 

Es Cap de Barbaria is the highest point of the southern part of the island. This haven is where the feelings of loneliness and freedom come together. This is the place where the famous scene from the Spanish film Lucía y el sexo was shot. It is a magical place to admire the sunset for its great views of the isle of Es Vedrà. its loneliness and majesty can only be truly admired at the actual place. Not far from the lighthouse you can find a watchtower from the 18th century, Torre des Garroveret.

It is Formentera's main market, for the number of sellers and the number of visitors. It has become an important meeting point not only for the number of stalls but also for its busy atmosphere. In the central square you can usually find live music and in the surroundings there are bars with terraces. The idea to create this market came from artists and craftsmen and nowadays fights to preserve the initial concept: display, sell and promote local craftwork, making an alternative lifestyle possible.

• Opening hours: May to October: Wednesdays and Sundays from 16:00 to 22:00 hrs.
   

Visiting the east coast, between La Savina port and Cala Saona, you can find a steep coast made up of a desert of strange rocks and odd shapes. It is known as Sa Pedrera, that used to be a quarry. You can visit this coast from the sea on a boat and enjoy its great marine richness. It is an ideal place for snorkelling for its shallow waters near the coast and the beauty of its sea floor with great presence of posidonia (local sea plant). There is also a forest area nearby where you can find finca Can Marroig, an area authorised for picnics and Sa Gavina watchtower. Route 4 of the Green Paths, Camí de Can Marroig, connects all of the main points of interest.

Walking up Camí de Sa Pujada is an experience that brings together heritage and nature, the sea, the past and the present. The path starts nearby Es Caló de Sant Agustí, a small, fishermen's village with a path, that was once used by Augustine monks that lived in La Mola. The path is filled with contrasts: pine trees with trunks twisted by the wind, rocks with bizarre shapes and La Mola cliffs. As you climb you will be surprised by the best panoramic views of the island. Its highest point is found at the viewpoint. At the end of the journey we recommend visiting Pilar de la Mola and its church, La Mola's Windmill and its well known Lighthouse.
