Paddling to s'Espalmador with a marine biologist
From its base on ses Illetes beach, White Sands runs a guided three-hour kayaking trip to s'Espalmador, the privately owned islet, open to all, that extends Formentera to the north. It's half an hour of paddling, with a stop for snorkelling over the posidonia meadows, and time to walk to the inner lagoon or stay on the beach; the guide is a marine biologist specialising in posidonia. S'Espalmador is always reached by sea: crossing on foot from es Trucadors is dangerous. Swimming in the lagoon and using its mud is prohibited on the islet.
