Sa Torreta, Beach in Formentera, Spain
Sa Torreta is a beach in Formentera with fine sand extending roughly 170 meters along the coast and featuring a small rocky islet directly offshore. The narrow shoreline is shaped by this distinctive formation just beyond the waterline.
The name comes from the northern district of Espalmador, also called sa Torreta, which gives its name to the islet and the cove facing it. The cove is also known as Cala Rambles or Cala Sa Torreta. On 15 February 2012 the ferry Maverick II, on the route between the two main Pitiüses, ran aground on the Sa Torreta coast with 27 passengers and crew aboard.
