Ibiza
Beach
For
most
tourists
visiting
Ibiza,
beaches
and
clubs
are
the
prime
concern.
Ibiza
is
surrounded
by
beaches,
and
it
is
virtually
impossible
to
count
how
many
there
are.
It
is
simply
a
matter
of
deciding
whether
you
want
a
family
beach,
a
nudist
beach,
a
watersports
beach,
a
secluded
beach
or
an
all-night-party
beach.
For
the
most
part,
then,
going
to a
beach
on
Ibiza
is a
case
of
driving
towards
the
sea,
stopping
the
car,
and
wandering
onto
the
sand.
The
longest
beach
on
Ibiza
is
Playa
d’en
Bossa
(or
Platja
d’en
Bossa)
in
the
southeast,
which
has
two
and
a
half
kilometres
of
sand
and
is
popular
with
both
families
and
partygoers
heading
for
Bora
Bora
bar.
This
means
that
the
beach
can
get
rather
crowded
in
the
summer
months,
but
if
it
becomes
too
much
there
is
plenty
to
do
on
the
water
instead,
since
Playa
d’en
Bossa
is a
prime
watersports
location.
New
Age
hippies
tend
to
frequent
Benirras
beach
in
the
north,
but
nowadays
Ibiza’s
grooviest
beach
is
Salines
in
the
south,
just
beyond
the
Ses
Salines
saltpans.
This
beach
is
long
and
wide
enough
for
thousands
of
deckchairs,
but
can
also
get
very
packed
indeed
in
the
high
season.
The
main
attraction
is
the
choice
of
trendy
beach
bars
–
Malibu,
Jockey
Club
and
Sa
Trinxa
–
and
the
fact
that
the
beach
has
a
very
lax
clothing
policy.
It
is
popular
with
clubbers
and
families
alike,
but
for
swimming
it
is
best
to
stay
nearer
the
car
park
end,
since
the
sea
by
Sa
Trinxa
is
scattered
with
rocks.
Watch
out
for
jellyfish.

Just
north
of
Salines
is
Es
Cavallet,
a
popular
but
less
crowded
nudist
beach
that
attracts
a
mainly
gay
clientele.
A
little
further
up
the
east
coast
is
the
beach
of
Figueretes,
which
also
has
a
prominently
gay
crowd,
although
it
draws
in
the
families,
too.
For
the
best
beach
sunsets,
head
for
the
west
coast.
Cala
Salada
is a
popular
beach
just
north
of
San
Antonio,
and
Cala
Tarida
is a
lovely
beach
near
Sant
Josep.
For
a
more
secluded
sunset,
Cala
d’Hort,
with
its
spectacular
views
over
the
legendary
Es
Vedra
rock,
and
Cala
Conta,
with
its
isolated
beauty,
are
unbeatable.
For
something
very
secluded
indeed,
try
to
make
your
way
to
Atlantis
beach,
whose
location
–
somewhere
near
Cala
d’Hort
and
the
Torre
de
Savinar
– is
secret.
The
stone
used
in
the
building
of
Ibiza
Town’s
Dalt
Vila
was
dug
from
this
bay,
and
it
is
now
a
favourite
with
locals
and
hippies.
