Formentor Beach, Mediterranean beach in northern Mallorca, Spain
The one-kilometer stretch of fine white sand extends along the coastline, framed by the Tramuntana Mountains and fragrant pine forests.
During the early days of Mallorca tourism in the 1950s, the beach gained recognition as a gathering place for international artists and writers.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices in the waters near Formentor Beach, maintaining connections to the maritime heritage of Mallorca.
From June to September, access to the beach requires using the public bus service from Port de Pollença due to vehicle restrictions.
The shallow waters gradually deepen across 50 meters of the shoreline, creating natural swimming zones marked by different shades of blue.

Mallorca offers diverse landscapes where fine sandy beaches and wild coves surrounded by limestone cliffs succeed one another. On the northwest coast, Sa Calobra marks the spectacular mouth of the Torrent de Pareis, while Cala Figuera nestles between the rocky walls of Cape Formentor. To the southeast, near Santanyí, Caló del Moro and the Mondragó natural park reveal other facets of the Mediterranean coast. The island's architectural heritage reflects centuries of history. In Palma, the Gothic cathedral from the 14th century dominates the port with its nave standing 144 feet (44 meters) high and 61 stained glass windows. The round Bellver Castle, built in 1311, is perched on the heights of the city. The Drach Caves in Porto Cristo reveal an underground world spanning approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 km), including Lake Martel, one of Europe’s largest underground lakes. The Alfàbia Gardens in Sóller preserve Moorish hydraulic art from the 13th century, while the Roman site of Pol·lèntia in Alcúdia dates back to the 1st century BC. To the north, the s'Albufera natural park conserves 4,200 acres (1,700 hectares) of wetlands hosting over 250 species of migratory birds.
