Formentor open?&#8221;, &#8220;Why is the Road to Formentor lighthouse closed?&#8221;, &#8220;Why is Cap de Formentor closed?&#8221; <\/strong>and, above all<strong> &#8220;How do you get to Cap de Formentor?&#8221;<\/strong>. In this article you will find all the answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the summer of 2021 the road to Formentor, which begins in Puerto Pollensa, has been restricted to traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restrictions on the Formentor road are intended to regulate vehicle traffic (especially cars) that access the Formentor peninsula. Formentor is a natural area and is part of the Serra de Tramuntana Mountain Range, which is protected by UNESCO as an area of cultural landscape. The restrictions are in place to avoid crowding, traffic jams and to preserve the environment. At the same time, options are offered to continue to access Formentor in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restricciones-trafico-formentor.jpg\" alt=\"traffic restrictions on the Formentor road\" class=\"wp-image-9562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restricciones-trafico-formentor.jpg 901w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restricciones-trafico-formentor-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/restricciones-trafico-formentor-768x460.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 901px) 100vw, 901px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>In 2023, the restrictions on the Formentor road begin on May 15 and end on October 15, between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m<\/strong>. This means that on dates and times not included in this schedule, you can drive on the Formentor road without restrictions. The restrictions affect two sections of road:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"from-puerto-pollensa-to-formentor-beach\"><\/span><strong>From Puerto Pollensa to Formentor Beach:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2714 You can access by shuttle bus<br>\u2714 You can enter by car only if there is space in the parking<br>\u274c Fine if you enter without an available parking space<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can drive there, BUT you will only avoid a fine if you have authorization or if there is free space in the parking area. Below, we explain how it works in the \u201cFormentor parking\u201d section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"from-formentor-beach-to-formentor-lighthouse\"><\/span><strong>From Formentor Beach to Formentor Lighthouse:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Car access completely prohibited<br>\u2714 Shuttle bus only<br>\ud83d\udcf8 Cameras record license plates<br>\ud83d\udd34 No authorization possible during restricted hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can only travel from Formentor Beach to the lighthouse by shuttle bus. Please note that traffic authorities have installed cameras along the road to monitor vehicle license plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the restrictions, there are different ways to reach Formentor Beach, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Below, we explain the best options to enjoy Formentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading parrafo-azul\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-get-to-formentor-beach\"><\/span>How to get to Formentor beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-formentor-beach-by-car\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-get-to-formentor-beach-by-car\"><\/span>How to get to Formentor Beach by car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting a car to visit Formentor Beach is one of the most popular options with tourists visiting Mallorca. Renting a car offers greater flexibility, but it must be taken into account that it is a windy road, very busy, and that it has the restrictions that we have mentioned. To this we must add <strong>the cost of parking in Formentor<\/strong>, which we will talk about below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the beach of Formentor by car, apart from the road restrictions, you must check whether there will be space in the car park. <strong>At the beginning of the road to Formentor, just before reaching the roundabout, there is a panel that informs about the available parking spaces<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must bear in mind that if you do not want to risk a fine, you will need a parking ticket. Likewise, it must be considered that although the panel indicates that there are spaces available, there are more cars on the road already on the way to the beach and with the intention of parking there. What you can&#8217;t know is how many cars are ahead of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shuttle-bus-to-formentor-and-cap-formentor\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"shuttle-bus-to-formentor-and-cap-formentor\"><\/span>Shuttle Bus to Formentor and Cap Formentor:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So it might be worth considering different options of how to get to Formentor. One of the best ways to access the beach of Formentor is with the shuttle bus line 334 Puerto Pollensa-Faro Formentor operated by the TIB (public transport of the Balearic Islands). <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"878\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/formentor-mallorca-10.jpg\" alt=\"formentor beach, swimming in the sea\" class=\"wp-image-1926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/formentor-mallorca-10.jpg 878w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/formentor-mallorca-10-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/formentor-mallorca-10-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/formentor-mallorca-10-520x245.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/formentor-mallorca-10-720x340.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The shuttle bus schedule is from 9:30 a.m. to 9:50 p.m., and there are departures every 35 minutes. The price of the journey is \u20ac1.80-\u20ac3, depending on whether it is paid by card or cash. It has the following stops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong style=\"color: initial;\">L-334&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color: initial;\">Alc\u00fadia &#8211; Port de Pollen\u00e7a &#8211; Formentor Beach&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Cala Figuera \/&nbsp;Cala Murta&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<\/span>Formentor Lighthouse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best place to leave from is Puerto de Pollen\u00e7a, where there are several stops. The new central bus stop in Puerto de Pollen\u00e7a includes free parking. The other stops are on the highway service road, where you can also park for free. <strong>The bus service stops at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/en\/places-interest-mallorca\/es-colomer-viewpoint-in-mallorca\/\">Mirador de Es Colomer<\/a> viewpoint, Formentor beach, the coves of Cala Murta \/ Cala Figuera and the Formentor Lighthouse<\/strong>.

The journey is about 25 minutes and is usually available from April to October. The approximate price of this service is \u20ac18 round trip. <strong>With different schedules during the day, you can plan to spend the whole day in Formentor or just a few hours<\/strong>. It is an excellent way to get to Formentor Beach, since the views during the trip are sublime, you will pass by Sa Fortaleza and some small coves and you will enjoy some of Mallorca&#8217;s best coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One option that we really like is to take the shuttle bus to Formentor Beach, spend time on the beach and then return by boat to Puerto Pollensa.

Normally the excursion takes place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. The price is approximately \u20ac45-50 including a visit to a Mallorcan market, a stop at the Colomer viewpoint, time on the beach and a boat trip.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"876\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/mallorca-excursiones-organizadas-2.png\" alt=\"organised excursions to formentor\" class=\"wp-image-1875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/mallorca-excursiones-organizadas-2.png 876w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/mallorca-excursiones-organizadas-2-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/mallorca-excursiones-organizadas-2-768x388.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>One of the best ways to visit Formentor on an organized excursion is with the one that leaves from Puerto Alcudia, since this is one of the most popular excursions in Mallorca<\/strong>. This 4-hour excursion is in an open-top bus, which takes you on a panoramic sightseeing tour along the bay of Pollensa and then winds its way up the Formentor road. As well as giving you free time on Formentor Beach, you also make a stop at the Mirador del Colomer Viewpoint and it includes a 25-minute boat trip from Formentor to Puerto Pollensa. All this assisted with the explanations of a guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can find all the details about this excursion here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/en\/excursions\/excursion-to-formentor-with-bus-and-boat\/\">Formentor tour with Bus and Boat.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading parrafo-azul\" id=\"prevision-2024-y-2025\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-new-in-2026\"><\/span>What is new in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For 2026, the relevant authorities have agreed to modify the period of access restrictions to Formentor. The restrictions will start on <strong>May 15<\/strong> and remain in place until <strong>October 15<\/strong>, extending the period compared to previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road will be closed daily from <strong>10:00 am to 10:00 pm<\/strong>. This change is due to the lower number of visitors during the second half of October and follows a request from the Pollen\u00e7a Town Hall to move those days to May, when demand is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As in previous years, during the restriction period access to the Formentor Peninsula will only be allowed by <strong>public transport, on foot or by bicycle<\/strong>. Only <strong>authorized vehicles<\/strong> (emergency services, residents and local workers) will be permitted to drive with special authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently, restrictions were applied from June 1 to September 30, although in 2025 they were already extended until the end of October. For 2026, the period has been adjusted to better match actual visitor flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-can-you-park-in-formentor\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-can-you-park-in-formentor\"><\/span>Where can you park in Formentor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Formentor there are three legally established parking areas: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/9QkKJmodEWF7uQCk7\" rel=\"nofollow\">Formentor Lighthouse Car Park<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/HXAmc6ZAB1WCTYr4A\" rel=\"nofollow\">Platjamar A<\/a> and B Car Parks. In low season it is easy to find a place to park, but from mid-June to the end of August it can be very difficult. From the parking lot you can walk to the beach that is right next to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much does it cost to park in Formentor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formentor parking prices are expensive. In fact, many users rate it on opinion portals as <strong>one of the most expensive in Spain and Europe.<\/strong> The price of parking on Formentor beach is \u20ac0.064 per minute, which is equivalent to almost \u20ac4 per hour. From our point of view, to visit Formentor and its beach you will need about 4 hours, so it will be about \u20ac16 for parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car park is open 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"982\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/parking-de-formentor.jpg\" alt=\"Formentor beach car park\" class=\"wp-image-9563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/parking-de-formentor.jpg 982w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/parking-de-formentor-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.click-mallorca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/parking-de-formentor-768x443.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 982px) 100vw, 982px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Formentor Beach car park from Google Maps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you search on Google you will see that there are three car parks in the Formentor area. Be careful because the one that says &#8220;parking&#8221; is an area where you can park, it is not a legal car park. This means that you will not have a ticket, which is very important if you have entered Formentor during the period of restrictions on the Formentor road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally: <strong>How to avoid the fine for accessing Formentor during the period of restrictions?<\/strong> You need a parking ticket, you must send it within 3 days after your visit to Formentor to ticketsformentor@dgt.es with the subject &#8220;Formentor Playa&#8221; and specify the date you were there, together with the vehicle registration number. Later, from the DGT they confirm the authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to skip the above procedure, the fine is about \u20ac80. In 2022, more than 50,000 fines were issued for driving on the Formentor road without authorization in restricted sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading parrafo-azul\" id=\"how-to-get-to-the-formentor-lighthouse\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-get-to-the-formentor-lighthouse\"><\/span>How to get to the Formentor Lighthouse?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The lighthouse at Cap de Formentor<\/strong> is another of the essential sites in Formentor, and is also subject to the Formentor road restrictions that we mentioned at the beginning of the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"como-ir-al-faro-de-formentor\"><strong>How to get to Cap de Formentor then?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><u>From the car park of the Hotel Formentor to the Formentor lighthouse between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., it can only be accessed by the<\/u><strong><u> Balearic Government TiB shuttle bus<\/u><\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><u>NO authorization is given BETWEEN 10:00 AM AND 10:30 PM to ACCESS THE FORMENTOR LIGHTHOUSE (KILOMETERS 8.7 TO 19,600).
