Ses Canyes is a small, almost untouched beach at the south-eastern end of the Ses Salines natural park, between Es Pujols and Sa Roqueta. About 250 metres long, it mixes sand and rock, although the sand wins.
What it’s like
The sand is fine and the water transparent. Dunes and a small wood shelter it on the western side, and a few houses from the early days of tourism stand behind it. The sea is especially beautiful when the wind blows from the west or the south.
There are no lifeguards, no bar, no toilets and no water sports; the old kiosk closed years ago. A small concession rents sunbeds and parasols at the northern end, but otherwise bring everything you need for the day, especially food and water.
Formentera has no official nudist beaches and no beaches where nudity is banned. Ses Canyes, calm and private, is a good choice for naturists.
Getting there
The easiest access is from the southern end, near Es Pujols, where there is a parking area and a wooden walkway over the dunes. From the road between La Savina and Es Pujols, follow the signs for Sa Pedrera Suites onto a dusty dirt track and turn left to the car park. On foot from Es Pujols, follow the wooden walkways north.
Good to know
From here, a long and beautiful coastal walk continues north via Sa Roqueta to the beach of Llevant.
