Cavall d'en Borràs beach, Mediterranean beach in Formentera, Spain

Cavall d'en Borràs is a beach with fine white sand and turquoise shallow waters facing the Mediterranean. The shoreline features a natural dune system backed by juniper groves that create shelter from the inland side.

The beach was named after a horse owned by Antonio Borràs in the 1800s, who ran the salt flats of Formentera. This link to salt production established the site's historical ties to the island's main economic activity.

The beach sits at the edge of a protected natural park where salt-resistant plants and juniper thrive in the sandy soil. Visitors encounter a landscape shaped by the region's salt-production heritage and coastal ecosystem.

The beach sits about 2 kilometers from La Savina port and offers lifeguard services, a restaurant, and sun loungers. Marked swimming zones with buoys help visitors find safe water areas.

From this location, visitors can spot the rocky silhouettes of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell islands rising from the sea on clear days. This view takes on a special quality as the sun dips toward the horizon.
