Ibiza Beaches
The Balearic Islands are known for their beautiful white sandy beaches. Especially the beaches on Ibiza are stunning. Besides the long, white and pretty crowded beaches around Ibiza Town and in the big tourist resorts, the Island offers hundreds of small, deserted beaches. Often surrounded by rocky cliffs and sometimes not even accessible by land. These beaches, or calas in the local tongue, are astonishingly gorgeous. The sand is extremely white and fine, and the seawater very clear and blue. When you leave your Ibiza hotel or your Ibiza apartment to take a trip around the Island, to spot all the tourist sights, or to hike around the amazing natural environment, it’s a good idea to take rest and relax at the beach. Besides being a good place for swimming and getting a tan, some beaches are also great fishing spots. Take out your fishing gear to Punta de Sa Galera for example. This fishing spot is located nearby another pretty beach called Cala Salada, 19 km East of Ibiza town. Also nearby Cala Salada you can find Cala d’Hort, a small beach with pine trees where you can enjoy the cool sea breeze. Beach lovers should also pay a visit to Sa Caleta, 11 km Southeast of Ibiza Town and to Cala de Benirrà s, 20 km North of Ibiza.
On Ibiza’s smaller neighbor, the Island Formentera, you can find one of the most beautiful spots in the Mediterranean. Playa de Ses Illetes with its strip of dunes along the sea and the many inlets is situated 6 km North of Sant Francesc de Formentera. If you’re staying on the other side of Sant Francesc, you could go and check out the beach of Playa de Migjorn, a large bay with fine sand and crystalline water.
