Es Arenals
Arenals is situated at five kilometres from Pilar de la Mola, located in the south-eastern area of Formentera, between es Valencians and Caló des Morts, as well as quite near the village of Maryland, the upper areas of the thick pine trees es Copinyar and Bosc de sa Pujada (just before the highest point of Formentera, la Mola, 192 metres). In this natural setting, which belongs to Àrea Natural d’Especial Interès de Platja de Migjorn-Costa de Tramuntana, nudism is allowed. This coastal stretch is characterized by the fact of being very long, the beach is sandy and at the rear you can find a system of dunes with fixing vegetation (like pine trees, bushes and scrubland), a gentle slope, wind blowing from the sea, a moderate swell, the ground is covered by high and extensive posidonia meadows and it has quiet and crystal clear water. These last particularities invite to dive on surface. The marine and underwater conditions for anchoring boats are good if you stay at more than 100 metres from the coast. The beach is exposed to the winds from the south and the ground is sandy and rocky. The accessibility by car is easy following the signs and the deviations. The private car, moped or bicycle can be left on a free parking area in the surroundings. You can also reach this beach with the public transport. The nearest bus stop is located at two hectometres. When the beach has a lifeguard service, you must follow the lifeguards’ instructions and the warnings on flags. A red flag indicates dangerous swimming conditions and means that swimming is not permitted. A yellow flag indicates that precaution must be taken, but that swimming is permitted. A green flag indicates that swimming is permitted. An orange flag is used to indicate that the lifeguard is absent. Act cautiously when no lifeguard is present or the service is not available and enjoy the beach without taking any unnecessary risks. For health and safety reasons, the municipal ordinances ban pets on beaches. Information about this beach may change.
