Es Copinar is the easternmost section of Platja de Migjorn, the long beach along the south coast of Formentera, in the area below the climb to La Mola. It faces south, has a sandy seabed and is the end of the line for the L7 bus. The nearest town is El Pilar de la Mola.
The beach
Sand with a seabed that runs out to sea, which makes Es Copinar, with Es Ca Marí and Es Arenals, the most popular part of the coast. It is a wild stretch of the south coast with an endless sandy shore. The water is shallow and in summer usually calm, because the south coast is sheltered from the prevailing winds. Like the rest of Migjorn it lies in the Platja de Migjorn-Costa de Tramuntana natural area of special interest, and the shore is reshaped each winter by the currents.
Getting there
By road from the main road towards La Mola, by one of the turn-offs south that serve each section of Migjorn. By bus, Es Copinar is the terminus of line L7 (which runs along Migjorn and on to Sant Ferran de ses Roques, Es Pujols and Ses Illetes) and a stop on line L2 between Port La Savina and El Pilar de la Mola, both on the timetable valid from 1 May 2026. On foot, the shore continues west to Es Arenals and east along the coast path to Es Caló des Mort in about 5 to 8 minutes.
Parking and access rules
There is a car park at Es Copinar. From 15 May to 15 October 2026 vehicle access and parking on the roads to Es Caló des Mort and Es Ram are restricted under a decision of the Consell plenary of 30 March 2026, and the Es Copinar car park is the designated alternative for cars and motorbikes. No natural park fee applies.
Services
Restaurants and beach bars. The Migjorn coast as a whole has sunbed rental and water sports, and nudism is practised; Es Caló des Mort next door has nothing at all, so Es Copinar is where to eat and drink before or after the walk.
When to go
In summer the car park doubles as the car park for Es Caló des Mort, so it fills early. The south-facing shore is the sheltered side of the island on a Tramuntana day, and the beach bars of Migjorn are a place to watch the sunset.
Nearby
Es Arenals is the next section west along Platja de Migjorn. Es Caló des Mort is the cove a few minutes east on foot. El Pilar de la Mola is the town at the top of the road, and Es Caló de Sant Agustí with Platja des Caló and Ses Platgetes lies on the north coast over the hill.
