I went on a day trip from ibiza, beautiful beaches and as titsout (apt name) says plenty of nudists about. Found out that Bob Dylan bought the lighthouse and the southern end of the island and jonie Mitchell wrote 'blue' on formentera

It’s lovely, get yourself there. The beaches are as close to the Caribbean beaches you will find in Europe they say.

It’s easy enough to get to from Ibiza, proper ferry from Ibiza town (foot or car) or smaller boats from places like Den Bossa. Hire bicycle, mopeds, quads or car to travel around.the island is tiny, we get quads for the caminos to the many stunning little beaches.

The beaches in the North are beautiful, but very busy, full of boats and expensive restaurants. Lots of ‘cool’ bars like The Blue Bar-pretty different to Burnley’s version. There are very few big hotels, or buildings over two storey. Clothes are optional on all beaches, still get the hippy vide away from the main beaches. Doesn’t look like much has changed since my parents visited many years ago.

Do not visit in August, well known that island is full of Italians. We have only gone for days out there, I would like to stay but we love the clubs on the main island.
Favourite beaches;
PLAYA MIGJORN
PLAYA ES ARENALS
CALA SAONA
The main two close to the port are the best known PLAYA ILLETES and PLAYA DE LEVANTE

Cheers Loyal Claret for the reply.
Confirmed a lot of what I had read but always good to get actual "reviews" (that's a good idea for a website!)
Am on it for next summer.
