About Platja de Llevant
Platja de Llevant is the long, east-facing beach on the narrow Es Trucadors peninsula that runs north from the main body of Formentera towards Ses Illetes and the islet of S'Espalmador. It lies inside the Ses Salines natural park, so there are no buildings directly behind it, just low dunes and juniper scrub. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of nudist tradition and gives a length of about 1.45 km with an average width of around 30 metres. The sand is fine and white and the water is usually calm and very clear, with seagrass meadows offshore; when the wind blows from the east, however, the beach catches seaweed and some swell, and many visitors cross the peninsula to Ses Illetes on the other side. Nudity is not universal: Spain's national tourism site says parts of the beach are used by nudists, and in practice the quieter stretches away from the restaurants at the southern access point are where most nude bathers settle. There is a lifeguard post in season and a handful of beach restaurants and bars, but no natural shade, so a parasol is essential. It is busy in July and August, mostly with day-trippers from Ibiza and visitors staying on Formentera.
Getting there
From La Savina port, follow the road north towards Ses Illetes and the natural park. Vehicle access to the Ses Salines park area is regulated in summer, and parking at the end of the road is limited, so arriving early or cycling along the flat bike route from La Savina is the easiest option. Seasonal buses also run from La Savina towards Ses Illetes. From the car parks, short sandy paths through the dunes lead onto Llevant; walk north along the shore to reach quieter areas. Boardwalks help at some access points, but the sand is soft.
What visitors say
Travel guides consistently name Llevant as one of Formentera's main naturist beaches and describe a mixed, easy-going crowd of clothed and nude bathers. Visitors praise the white sand and turquoise water but note it is less sheltered than Ses Illetes and can collect seaweed after easterly winds. Reports disagree on facilities: some mention bars and sunbed rental near the southern access, while others warn there is nothing along the quieter northern stretch and recommend bringing water and shade. Summer parking pressure is a common complaint.
