Platja de s'Alga, Mediterranean beach on Espalmador island, Formentera, Spain
Platja de s'Alga is a beach on Espalmador island off Formentera with white sand and clear water, stretching in a semicircular cove between two rocky points. The shallow areas are good for swimming, while the surrounding landscape remains relatively wild and undeveloped.
The island was a place where people built watchtowers over centuries to protect against sea attacks. The Sa Torreta tower from the 18th century still stands nearby as evidence of this defensive past.
The beach is used by visitors who practice naturism and experience the Mediterranean setting in its most natural way. This tradition shapes how the place looks and feels today.
The beach is only accessible by boat from Formentera, with regular service between the islands. Swimming across the channel is not recommended because strong currents in the waterway can be dangerous.
The location served as visual inspiration for the Island of Neverland in Disney's Peter Pan film. This connection remains unknown to many visitors today who discover the beach's natural beauty on their own.
