The Platja de Mitjorn is Formentera’s longest beach and runs along its southern coastline. Although Mitjorn means midday I would advise against sunbathing in Formentera’s midday sun, unless you have plenty of sunblock. Some say that the beach is five kilometers, others eight, it depends where you measure it from, but either way it is one of the longest on the Pine Islands. The most common measurement is from Es Pal Mas to Es Copinar. The strip is clear of buildings for the most part.

The best way to see Platja de Mitjorn is from the defense tower at its western end. From Es Pi d’es Catala you can see Es Ca Mari, Es Codol Foradat, Raco Fondo,, Els Valencians, Maryland and Es Alrenals. There are turnings off the PM-820 highway to reach each of these sections of beach. Sant Ferran is conveniently located if the Ca Mari beach is your preferred destination.

If you twisted my arm and forced me to select one of Mitjorn’s areas as the best then I would recommend that you turn of at 8km. Actually it has nothing to do with the quality of sand or sea, and everything to do with food. You see the Italian restaurant Lucky is nestled away here, and it has some of the best fish on the island. After you have eaten you can pop across to see the hippies at Blue Bar.

As you head east you come to the beaches of Es Arenals and Maryland. These are resort-style hotels with tennis, table tennis, mini golf and swimming pools. They lack the authenticity of a farmhouse holiday, but have great facilities. To get to this part of Mitjorn you should turn off at the thirteen kilometer mark of the highway.

Tramuntana is another stunning beach that you can visit, and it is just the other side of Formentera’s Isthmus.
