BeachSa Roqueta
A small, natural beach right by Es Pujols in Ses Salines Natural Park: fine white sand, small rocks and clear, shallow water. Few facilities.
What makes Platja de Trucadors special
In the north of Formentera, the Es Trucadors peninsula juts out into the sea. It’s almost 3 km long and about 200 metres wide on average. On its west side is Ses Illetes beach, on its east side Platja de Llevant. Platja de Trucadors is right at the end.
At the tip, by Es Pas des Trucadors, a narrow tongue of white sand runs out into the sea towards the island of s’Espalmador. On either side of you is clear, turquoise water.
According to the Catalan Wikipedia, ‘Trucadors’ is a corruption of ‘Traücadors’, from the verb traücar (to pierce). Boats ran the risk of being holed on the shallow rocks off the tip.
The whole area is part of the Parc Natural de ses Salines d’Eivissa i Formentera. The underwater posidonia meadows in this park are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Getting there and parking
You can get as far as Ses Illetes by car, scooter or bike. From there you walk north; the end of the spit can only be reached on foot. How long the walk takes depends on where you park.
In season, access to the Ses Illetes area for cars and motorbikes is regulated, with a cap on the number of vehicles. In 2026 the rules applied from 10 May to 15 October, and anyone who didn’t live on Formentera paid an entry fee. On foot, by bike or in an electric vehicle, entry was free. Check the Consell de Formentera’s current rules and fees before you go.
Facilities
There are no beach bars or restaurants on the spit itself, and no sunloungers or parasols for hire. You will find restaurants along Ses Illetes, further south. Bring enough water, food and sun protection for the walk. There’s no lifeguard on this stretch.
Tips for your visit
- According to Turisme Formentera, the light here is at its best at sunrise and sunset.
- You’ll walk quite a way over sand and paths, so wear suitable shoes.
- Stay on the paths and boardwalks so that the dunes don’t get damaged.
- Take all your rubbish away with you: this is a protected natural area.
- Heading to s’Espalmador? Take a boat, and don’t try to cross on foot or swim over.
Safety and nature
At the tip you’re a long way from help and facilities. Bring plenty of drinking water, protect yourself from the sun and, if you swim, bear in mind the currents around the tip.
