Estany d'Es Peix beach, Shingle beach in Estany del Peix, Formentera, Spain
Description
Estany d'Es Peix beach is a 1000-meter-long coastal stretch that mixes olive-colored sand with shingle stones, extending about 10 meters in width. This combination of sand and stones creates a distinctive texture along the Mediterranean coastline.
History
The beach lies in an area with remains of ancient Roman salt deposits, which were once used for food preservation during classical Mediterranean trade. This salt extraction was an important activity in the region during ancient times.
Culture
The beach maintains a designated naturist section, reflecting Mediterranean coastal traditions and offering visitors a choice in their beach experience.
Practical
The beach is accessible through marked pathways from the PM-820 road, with a parking area near the entrance. Visitors are advised to wear comfortable footwear, as the shingle surface can be uneven and becomes hot in direct sunlight.
Did you know?
The beach borders a natural lagoon called Sa Boca, which is shallow and allows small boats to navigate its waters. This lagoon creates a sheltered contrast to the open beach and draws visitors who want to explore both water environments.
