Formentera Car Hire
Formentera is one of the Pine Islands, part of the Balearic Islands that form part of Spain. It is the smallest of the Pine Islands, and is just 19 kilometers (12 miles) long. Formentera is probably best known the world over for its beautiful white beaches and the fact that nude sunbathing is allowed on most of the beaches on the island.
Formentera is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination, as passenger transport is now available from the Spanish mainland. Previously, ferries were only available from Ibiza.
One of the main attractions in Formentera is the water itself and any visitor is encouraged to buy or rent some snorkeling or even diving equipment to marvel at the beautiful underwater world.
Some of the best beaches in Formentera are Espalmador, which has mud baths that are now part of a protected nature reserve; Platja Llevant; Platja Tramuntana; Platje de ses Illetes, which is a very crowded beach; Platje des Canjers, which is a naturist beach; Cala Saona; Platja Es Arenals; and Platja Migjorn. There are also two beautiful lagoons on Formentura, being the Estany de Peix and the Estany Pudent. Translated, this means the fish lagoon and the stinking lagoon!
Crime rates are very low on Formentera and people can leave their bags and belongings on the beach without worrying about theft. The only warning that is given to tourists is to not walk on the roads in the dark, as there is quite a high rate of drunk driving, which can lead to accidents.
