Santa Agnes, a tiny hamlet in the north-west of Ibiza that doesn’t get much in the way of tourist traffic but does make a good starting point for a hike along some truly epic coastline.
The towns elevation of 200m above sea level gives you a head start on this hike that will take you to the edge of sheer dramatic cliffs without the need for a climb, as well as show you two hidden beaches and incredible views from Cap Negret headland.
This hike takes roughly 90-minutes but there are options to cut it shorter along the way should you wish to. The trail is rugged in most places, generally fairly easy but does have a few steep sections. Mostly deserted even in peak summer, you probably won't meet anyone and you’ll hear nothing but the buzz of cicadas and the waves breaking at the base of the cliffs below.
What to bring
Proper footwear is required and plenty of water. There are no refreshment stops until you reach the restaurant at Cap Negret and no shops in Santa Agnes, so purchase water from a supermarket before you leave.
Where to lunch
When you’ve cooled off sufficiently in the sea and conquered the steep hike back up to the main Cami des Pla de Coruna, continue right through beautiful farmland and scenes of rural idyll until you reach Las Puertas Del Cielo (heaven’s gate) restaurant, easy to spot from the road. Stop here for a drink or lunch amidst the trees and look out on the incredible ocean view. Walk to the very edges of the cliffs and along to the left until you reach the rocky headland of Cap Negret where more simply epic views await you. Look to the south from here and you can see all the way to the island of Conillera south of Sant Antonio bay.
From here it’s a simple walk back to the village of Santa Agnes.
