Sant Antoni (San Antonio)]
Definitely for the party lovers
San Antonio is the town by which many people define Ibiza. During the 1980's the town hit a development boom, as tourists (mainly English), flocked in their thousands to visit the sunny resort and dance the night away.
As a result, hotels, bars, clubs and restaurants have sprung up along most of the coastline. The areas around San Antonio also have some stunning beaches and some quieter bays and coves if you want to escape the crowds.

San Antonio Church
The church of San Antonio dates back to the 14th century, however like many other churches, only some of the original building remains.
Beaches in Sant Antoni
The beach in front of the town of San Antonio is incredibly busy during the summer months, however the water is clean and shallow and it's a great beach to use if you have family, especially with small children.
If you're looking for something a little more private then why not try the more secluded covers around the coastline of Cala Gracio and Cala Gracioneta. Both are small and intimate and well worth the day trip out of the busy town of San Antonio.
