Formentera has a very long coastline and along this coast are some rocky cliff areas and plenty of small and large beaches, coves, and sand dunes.
Formentera is flat and accessible and you can cover a good part of the island by bicycle. If you feel less energetic you can hire a car or a motorbike.
Walking, cycling or staying on the beaches is more or less all the activities on offer.

Famous Musicians
King Crimson
Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shore-line
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Here I wonder where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
Down a sun-baked crumpled stony road...
These opening lyrics to the 1969 song "Formentera Lady" by prog rockers, King Crimson perhaps goes some way towards explaining why many musicians have found inspiration on the tiny island of Formentera over the years, most notably in the sixties and seventies.
