Ses Illetes is a stretch of the north coast of the Spanish island of Formentera in the Balearics, with a series of beaches on the western side of the Trucadors peninsula, about 16 km south of Ibiza town in a straight line. It lies within the Ses Salines Natural Park. It takes its name from a group of islets very close to the shore, and its beaches are the island's most iconic. The exceptional clarity of the water comes from wide meadows of Posidonia seagrass on the seabed, which draw many divers. The area has two main beaches, Les Xalanes and n'Adolf. Fine white sand runs along a narrow spit between two seas, and the transparent water shades from pale turquoise to blue, like a tropical lagoon. Small islets and rocks lie offshore, with low dunes and coastal plants around. Visitors take the ferry from Ibiza to La Savina port, then a bike, bus or car to the beach. They swim and snorkel in the clear water and some walk to the tip of the Trucadors; the beach is busy in high summer.
