Toponymy

S'Illot can be translated from Catalan as the little island, and must not be confused with S'illot, a touristic resort on the eastern shores of Mallorca.[1]

Features

The islet is located close to the shore north of Benaire, a town belonging to the municipality Alcúdia. Its maximum elevation on the sea level is 12 ms.[2] The beach in front of the island is known for the good views which offers on the Cap Formentor and its peninsula,[1] and the surrounding stretch of sea is apreciated for snorkelling.[3]

Geology

The island and the neighbouring coast are known by geologists for their late Pleistocene deposits and are considered a very suitable location for teaching Quaternary lithologies and stratigraphic relationships.[4]
