Platja de ses Salines, Mediterranean sand beach in Formentera, Spain
Platja de ses Salines is a sand beach stretching along Formentera's coast with wide stretches of white sand and low dunes backed by pine trees. The water transitions gradually from shore to deeper areas, creating different shades of blue as it extends outward.
The area was placed under protection in the early 2000s to safeguard the coastal landscape and marine life of the region. This action reflected the importance of preserving the natural features that make the coast distinctive.
The beach sits within a protected natural area where local seagrass meadows play a vital role in keeping the marine environment healthy. Visitors can observe how this underwater plant life shapes the water and supports the life around the shore.
The beach is reachable by road with parking options near the entrance and regular bus connections from nearby towns. Arriving early or visiting outside peak hours helps you find space and enjoy calmer conditions.
The water displays multiple shades of blue because underwater seagrass beds reflect light differently and filter the seawater naturally. This rare feature makes the location visually distinctive and worth observing closely.
