Cala Envasté, Rocky beach in Formentera, Spain.
Cala Envasté is a beach along the northeast coast of Formentera that stretches about 150 meters with a gravel floor. The cove is framed by steep cliffs that form natural water boundaries and feature carved cave spaces.
The carved spaces in the cliffs date to the 19th century when fishing was a primary livelihood on the island. Local fishermen hollowed out niches in the sandstone to protect their boats and equipment from storms.
The beach embodies a clothing-optional tradition rooted in Mediterranean naturism that has flourished on the Balearic Islands for generations. Visitors from around the world gather here to embrace this relaxed approach to the body.
The beach has no facilities and is remote, so bring everything you need with you. The nearest shops and restaurants are in Sant Ferran, located several kilometers away.
The cave spaces carved into the cliffs remain as traces of old fishing traditions and occasionally serve as informal storage areas. Most visitors miss these details and focus instead on the remote character of the location.
