Hi i've read on another site that it's changed this year - 20 euros for the return boat -it do'nt stop at illiettes now - apparently you now go to the main port and hop on the coach - 6 euros to illiettes and then on to es pujouls - you can use the bus unlimited between these 2 beaches all day so i hear - or you can pay 10 euros and take the trip to la mola and around the island after the beaches - i'm curious myself as we're off over in 6 weeks and always go over there a couple of times just for the beaches and waters.

Hope it helps

My wife and I usually go over to Ses Illetes every year for a day trip on the catamaran from Cala Llonga. However, we didn't go over this year due to the difficulty getting a sunbed on our previous visit.

As I've already written on another topic elsewhere on this forum, things changed a few years back when the area was designated as some form of "nature reserve". This meant a restriction on the number of sun-loungers and parasols allowed on the beach.

By the time our ferry arrived, every bed and parasol had been taken, obviously by poeple living on Formentera or by people arriving on the earlier ferries from Ibiza Town.

The two restaurants on the beach both had private sections of beach with beds and parasols for clients. If memory serves, they are called Restaurante Es Ministre and Restaurante Juan y Andrea. You could always contact them before hand and book a table, though be warned that they can be expensive.

That situation may have changed again in the two years since I've been, but you could contact the tourist board, or even the two restaurants mentioned, to find out.

Thanks for the info...

Will wait til we get there and decide. Have looked up ordinary ferries from Ibiza Town cos could then get taxi to the beach, but think we may just end up staying in the hotel and saving money!!

7 sleeps to go...LOL
