Cala Saona Beach, White sand beach in Formentera, Spain

Cala Saona is a small cove on the east coast of Formentera, in the parish of Sant Francesc Xavier, just east of Punta Rasa. Its left side, looking out to sea, holds casetes varador where fishermen keep their boats and gear. Above these huts stand characteristic leafless trees used to hang fish for drying. The cove is known for its orange-tinted rock and transparent waters.

Cala Saona lies east of Punta Rasa, in the parish of Sant Francesc Xavier. On its left side facing the sea stand the casetes varador, small boat sheds where fishermen keep their boats and gear. Above them, bare trees were used to hang fish out to dry.

The beach welcomes visitors who prefer to swim without clothes, a practice that has been accepted here for decades. This openness reflects the relaxed attitude that has shaped the island's character over the years.

The location is reachable by the L5 bus line from Sant Francesc and La Savina, with a stop about 100 meters from the water. The shallow, calm waters are good for swimming, though parking near the trailhead fills up quickly during peak season.

Cala Saona lies east of Punta Rasa, the headland that closes the cove, and paths from the beach lead west along the coast to it. Above the small boat sheds on the left side, fishermen hang fish on bare trees to dry it in the sun.
