Formentera Cove
Information
Cala Fornells, located near Port de la Selva, is a beautiful and tranquil bay surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. The journey to reach the cove takes around 45 minutes on foot, weaving through picturesque trails lined with diverse flora, making it a rewarding experience for nature lovers.
However, visitors have noted some shortcomings:
- The beach consists mainly of pebbles and lacks sandy areas, which makes lounging less comfortable.
- There is frequent debris, including plastics and litter, detracting from the natural beauty of the beach.
- Access by foot can be challenging in certain sections, requiring suitable footwear and some physical fitness.
- During peak season, the cove can become overcrowded, diminishing the serene atmosphere.
Despite these concerns, many agree that the clear waters, gorgeous views, and the secluded nature of this gem make it worth a visit, especially on less busy days.

Fantastic experience: Cala muy natural y bonita Llena de piedras. Es recomendable llevar zapatillas. Puedes llegar en coche y bajar la ladera. Hay un camino entre escaleras y no. Pero no es difícil. Hoy el agua no está muy tranquila para entrar porque hay mucho viento. No la recomiendo para niños pequeños. A medida que entras es profunda. Salir del.agua es un poco complicado Pero es muy recomendable, limpia el.agua fresca. Me encantó. Está a pocos minutos del centro de Port de la Selva
Negative experience: Summary: it is not worth how far it is and what you find. I don't understand the good reviews. It's not worth a 45/50-minute walk (one way and then back) in full sun; you have to carry enough food and drink. Some parts of the path are difficult, and you must wear very good shoes. Upon arriving at the beach, it is dirty, filled with all kinds of plastics; we found some dead fish (a few months ago a friend found a dead wild boar!). There were remnants of some food that some pigs made that they didn't pick up. The beach is all rocks and stones, making it impossible to lie down, and entering the water requires shoes. The access to the cove is full of boats coming in and out, dropping anchor right there in the cove, so it is not safe to swim while boats pass by without looking if you are there diving quietly.
Fantastic experience: Cove quite easy to access from Tamariua, a path lined with pines, rosemary, junipers, opuntia stricta, etc., very pleasant walk. Today, the water was 'pool-like', a bit cooler than elsewhere. Small pebble beaches. Gentle slope.
Fantastic experience: Playa de agua cristalina, perfecta para hacer snorkel, tiene poca zona de arena al estar ocupada con sombrillas y hamacas de alquiler. Para aparcar el coche hay un pinar con un camino un poco complicado si tu coche es muy bajo
Fantastic experience: Muy chula, merece la pena el camino para ir y disfrutar de la tranquilidad que ofrece.

Fantastic experience: Difícil acceso, hay que ser àgil bajando cuestas de piedras, pero es muy bonita!
Fantastic experience: Es una cala camino de cap de Creus desde Port de la selva, con inicio desde la Tamariua, el camino tiene algunas subidas y bajadas pero gozas de unas vistas geniales, al fondo de lo a Cala hay un pequeño riachuelo que baja de la montaña con agua dulce es curioso ver las formas de las rocas, es de piedra y no hay arena, lo típico de las calas de esta zona, se llega en unos 45 o 60 minutos

Negative experience: This beach may seem attractive at first glance because it is remote. However, the water is very polluted, which is not great for looking at the fish. Moreover, the beach is made of pebbles, which is not pleasant for lying down. If you take a trip specifically to this beach, it's not really worth it.

Fantastic experience: Small, very atypical cove, the path leading to it is somewhat difficult. It is advisable to wear good shoes. I will definitely return on a nice day to enjoy this beautiful site more fully.

Fantastic experience: Cala fornells is a little far away from port de la selva town,like 45 minuts. You have to cross a green route surrounding the mountains near the town. The walk is nice, and the beach is beautiful. In that beaxh, you can go off wi-fi so keep in mind. This is a stone beach so caution wirh your feet when walking.
