The lighthouse is situated on a 114 metre high rock, on the south-eastern side of the island. On a clear day Mallorca can be seen on the horizon. This area of rocky coast around the lighthouse is known for being home to the local lizards, which are the emblem of Formentera.

The fortified church in San Francesc was built in 1726. The thick walls and small windows make it an unusual looking church;
doubling up as a fortress complete with cannons, it was used to successfully hold off pirate attacks, and to shelter the local inhabitants.

On the eastern side of Formentera, the village of El Pilar de la Mola, set on a rural plateau, is a quiet traditional village well worth a visit.

The “chiringuitos” are the famous beach bars set around the island of Formentera where enjoying a mojito or two with your feet in the sand is a must. There are many of these “kick back and relax” bars. Some of the most well- known include Big Sur on Las Illetes beach, Blanco on the road to La Mola, and the Blue Bar on Plaja Mijorn which becomes a restaurant in the evening. Piratebus is one of the original hippie chirunguitos, with the bar set in a VW combi van.

Starting from the Port of La Savina, this bus makes the round the island loop throughout the day, finishing back again at La Savina. There are several scheduled stops on the way but it is possible to flag the bus down alongside the road.

This restaurant is set in a restored windmill on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, and has probably one of the best located terraces on Formentera. The menu is set around seafood dishes and has its own lobster tank. There is also a free tender transfer service for yachtie customers.
