When you think of Formentera you probably think of Playa De Ses Illetes (pictured above). And rightfully so. The beaches on Formentara, with their long swathes of creamy white sand slowing fading into crystal clear water, are consistently ranked as some of the best in the world. It\u2019s sheer bliss! But unknown to most, there\u2019s much more to explore on the \u201cother\u201d Balearic island. Here\u2019s a rundown. Spend an afternoon in San Francesc Formentera\u2019s \u201ccapital village\u201d is as charming as you\u2019d imagine a tiny Iberian village would be. It has a cluster of small streets, a main square, a hippy market that is open every day, and a fortress church (Church of Sant Francesc Xavier). It\u2019s a great place to relax and experience more traditional Balearic vibes. Experience the barren nature on a Bike Everything on the island is reachable by a car, a scooter, a bike, or ahem\u2026a yacht. Riding around the island on a bike grants you extraordinary views of the endless Mediterranean stretching off into the distance, with super yachts and tropical fish decorating the coastline. We suggest renting a bike from the Port and riding along the narrow, dusty coastal path to Playa De Ses Illetes. Chill out on a Beach Most people\u2019s obvious choice of beach is Playa De Ses Illetes. It\u2019s the one you see on postcards and as a result it\u2019s often over-crowded with holiday seekers from Ibiza who took the Ferry over. Just a stone\u2019s throw away is Playa de Llevant \u2013 another gorgeous beach that\u2019s much bigger and less crowded than Playa Des Illetes. It faces North, offering great views of Dalt Villa in Ibiza Town and the rock of Es Vedra. It typically has rougher waters so it\u2019s great for having a swim. Two other great beaches on the island are Playa Es Arenals and Playa de Migjorn. Explore Caves on a Kayak Excursion Formentera has plenty of beaches, and plenty of caves \u2013 magical caves; the kind of caves that make you feel like you\u2019ve entered another world. The best way to explore them \u2013 nigh, the only way to explore them \u2013 is by Kayak. Some are so thin that you nearly get stuck going around bends \u2013 not for the clausterphobic. You can also rent a Kayak to view a beautiful sunset on the water. The tours take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They last 3 hours and cost \u20ac30 per person. Check it out here.
