Beaches in Ibiza Town
The beach of Playa d'en Bossa, stretches for some 3km south of Ibiza town. A long white sand beach it is the perfect playground for water sports lovers...although can be prone to a windy gust as it is not very sheltered.
In the height of summer this can be a welcome relief. Other nearby beaches that are worth the visit are Es Codolar and Es Cavallet, both very different from one another. Es Codolar is a long pebble beach that stretches alongside the salt flats and is perfect for a long walk and some wildlife spotting...and if the wind is right it is also a good spot for surfing. Es Cavallet on the other hand is a chic sandy beach with a stunning beach club, sun loungers, volleyball nets and nudist area.
