Beach Tour at Formentera Spain

The last Mediterranean paradise

      Formentera is know as the last Mediterranean paradise because it has been able to combine tourism with environmental protection.

     Formentera can only be reached by boat from Ibiza, but this inaccessibility makes it a peaceful place where you can flee from stress and overcrowding; enjoying the island on a cycle ride or swimming from its more than 20km of beaches of white sand and infinitely transparent water, where it is possible to do all kinds of water sports.

The secret of the existence of crystalline sea and Formentera's long beaches, which mark it out from the rest of the Mediterranean, is the posidonea prairie that surrounds the island, a natural treatment plant that cleans the water and makes its possible for sand to be deposited on the coast. It is a real underwater jungle, declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1999.
