Platja de Llevant occupies the whole eastern side of the Es Trucadors peninsula at the northern tip of Formentera, opposite Ses Illetes. It faces east, measures 1,450 metres and lies inside the Parc Natural de ses Salines d'Eivissa i Formentera, 4.1 km from La Savina, the nearest town.
The beach
Fine white sand and clear blue water, like Ses Illetes, but with far fewer people. The average width is about 90 metres. Rocky outcrops break the sand in places and form sheltered corners, so the shore reads as a series of small bays. Behind the beach a wide dune system with footbridges and the small Llevant wood separate the sand from the salt ponds.
Llevant is the Catalan name for the east wind, and the beach faces that way. The prevailing summer winds are westerlies, which reach this side but are usually light and cause little wave action. Llevant is the beach chosen by people who want to avoid the crowds of Ses Illetes. The landscape is almost free of buildings.
Getting there
By road, follow the road from La Savina along Estany Pudent into the natural park; the various access roads to Llevant branch off it. Cars, scooters and bicycles all use the same approach, 4.1 km from La Savina and 5.4 km from Es Pujols. On foot, the simplest route is across the dunes from Ses Illetes, 371 m away; in some stretches the two beaches are only fifty metres apart. No bus line stops at Llevant itself; the L3 and L7 stop at Ses Illetes.

One or two beach bars where you can eat without leaving the sand. There is also sunbed and sunshade rental and nautical gear rental. Parts of the beach are used for nudism. Do not count on showers, toilets or lifeguards.
When to go
In summer Llevant is the quieter alternative when Ses Illetes is full, and the walk across the peninsula takes minutes. As an east-facing beach it is the side to watch the sunrise from, and it is exposed when the wind does blow from the east, so on a Llevant day the western side is the calmer one. It is also a beach for long walks in winter.
Nearby
Ses Illetes is 371 m away on the west side of the same strip of land. To the north the beach ends at Punta des Trucadors and Platja des Trucadors, the sand tongue pointing at S'Espalmador. To the south it borders Platja de ses Canyes, with Sa Roqueta 2 km away and Es Pujols beyond. Es Cavall d'en Borràs is 1.4 km back towards La Savina.
