One of Formentera's main attractions includes the beautiful beaches, especially the lovely white sand and turquoise sea combination that makes up the Playa de Illetes. The naturally-created beach is in its original state and hasn't been spoiled by infrastructure; compared to other beaches, there are very few hotels that may disrupt the peace of a secluded beach.
Visitors can relax on the beach surrounded by the protected sand dunes or cycle, jog, or walk over the wooden walkways that run the length of the beach. Visiting Playa de Illetes is also a great way to see the beauty and charm of the locals; there's are old fishing boat huts that line a part of beach, and many of the residents still depend on the fish for their livelihood as the numerous generations before them did.
