Formosa Bay
8 Clarissa Monsegue

Upon our arrival, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring Baia Formosa and were delighted by the friendly locals who offered us affordable buggy and boat rides. We had an amazing time and quickly arranged two fantastic walks. The only downside was the sight of excessive litter in the port and small center of Formosa. We sincerely hope that they address this issue as it detracts from the beauty of this place.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 6 beaches in the state, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
