Cala Nova Beach, East Ibiza
Catch the early morning sun on this long golden sand beach
Just north of the resort Es Canar is the long golden beach of Cala Nova.
A popular beach for families, and as with many of the quieter beaches in Ibiza it can also be popular with nudists. There are sun loungers, umbrellas and a restaurant for mid-day refreshments.
Even in the summer months, this beach is rarely crowded.
Jump to
Setting & Location
The surroundings are pretty undeveloped with hills covered in pine trees and not many nearby hotels.
Beach Quality
Golden sand backed by rocky outcrops and sea grasses.
Watersports Nearby
Occasionally having good enough conditions for surfing (although big waves are rare), this is a popular beach for body surfing. You'll need to be aware of the currents when swimming and heed any warnings.
Directions
The parking area for the beach is very small, so you may find yourself walking some distance from your parking spot if you take the car. Moped is always a good option for getting a space a little closer.
