Estany des Peix Beach is a distinctive and charming spot located on the edge of a natural lagoon, just a stone's throw from the bustling port of La Savina. This isn't a typical open-sea beach; instead, it offers the tranquil, protected embrace of a shallow, brackish water body. The calm, almost lake-like conditions make it an unparalleled choice for families with toddlers and young children, who can splash and play in complete safety.

The lagoon's gentle depth and sheltered nature also make it a popular spot for small boats and paddleboards, creating a picturesque scene of colorful vessels bobbing on the placid surface. You can rent a small dinghy or a paddleboard and explore the calm expanse, feeling the gentle sun on your skin and the soft lapping of water against your craft. The air here often carries a faint, pleasant scent of salt and the nearby pine trees.
As evening approaches, Estany des Peix transforms into a prime location for witnessing Formentera's legendary sunsets. The western orientation allows for an unobstructed view as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange, pink, and purple, reflected perfectly on the still waters of the lagoon. It's a magical end to a day spent in this peaceful, family-friendly haven.
