Sea & Beach Reviews from Ibiza

The two beaches of Cala Conta and Cala Comte need little to no introduction, they are already famed throughout Ibiza and in San Antonio particularly for being two of the most stunning beaches in the immediate area.

Situated right at the north end of San Antonio’s iconic Sunset Strip is this sandy little beach that’s often over looked.

If you’re looking for a little hideaway that’s not too far from the town but feels a world away then head to Serral beach in the Sant Joseph area of the San Antonio bay.

Cala Corral is not a beach in the traditional sense but is no less beautiful for being a little unique. Located on the south-west coast of Ibiza in a stretch of coastline that is home to some stunning beaches such as Cala Bassa, Cala Conta and Cala Tarida.

Cala Figueretes is the closest beach to Ibiza town but it’s much more than just a town adjacent stretch of sand. Figueretes is a beautiful white sand beach that would be well worth trekking to, the fact that you don’t have to is simply a bonus.

Talamanca is arguably the nicest beach within walking distance of Ibiza Town. There’s not much to pick between it and Figueretes at the other end but with just a little more seclusion and a touch more sophistication Talamanca wins out as the beach for those in the know.

These two pristine beaches are as beautiful as you will find any where in Ibiza, and they are an easy walk from the main town of San Antonio but feel a whole world away.

Nestled in the thickly forested hills at the far north of the island lies Port de Sant Miquel, a busy purpose-built resort town and pretty beach that is perfect for a relaxing family holiday.

Located only half an hour outside of San Antonio, but rarely visited by tourists, this under the radar beach is popular with Spanish families and locals and they are more than happy to keep it their little secret. A beautiful beach dotted with rocks for climbing and jumping off and with a healthy scattering of beach lounges and restaurants, this beach is a great spot to spend a day with the family.

A stunning beach where luxury is the name of the game and the sea takes the prize for star attraction.

Port des Torrent beach is really the last beach that can claim to be in the San Antonio Bay area and is also probably the furthest one you can conceivably walk to. Located 4.5 km away from San Antonio town along a lovely coastal stretch it will take you about an hour to walk. Once there you have the option to hop on a bus or ferry to get back to town.

Not to be confused with the ‘hidden’ beach S’Estanyol on the east of the island, this one is much larger, much more accessible and located over on the west coast in the San Antonio bay.

Deciding to venture further a field along the south coast of Ibiza I made the choice to hire a moped (scooter) for the day, hoping to find it an easier way to travel around than on public transport.

Playa es Pouet is easy walking distance from the centre of San Antonio and yet infinitely more appealing than its larger neighbour the main beach S’Arenal de San Antonio.
