Es Pujols is the only urban beach in Formentera, separated from the resort of the same name by a short seafront promenade. It is a wide beach of sand with a low, rocky stretch, running from the islet of s’Aigua Dolça at its eastern end to Sa Punta Alta in the west.
What it’s like
The sand is white and the water as clear as on any other beach on the island. Near the centre, the islet of Es Fonoll Marí lies about 70 metres from the shore, close enough to swim to.
There is a lifeguard tower, a ramp and bathing assistance for people with reduced mobility, sunbeds and parasols all along the beach, public toilets and two beach bars, one at each end. At the western end you can hire catamarans, windsurf boards and paddle boards. Wooden walkways protect the dunes at both ends.
Getting there
Es Pujols is reached by road from La Savina, past the Estany Pudent lagoon, or from Sant Ferran.
Safety
Buoys separate the swimming area from the boats: respect them.
Good to know
It has less privacy than other beaches on the island, but the bars and restaurants of the town are only a few steps away.
