Sa Caleta, also called Es Bol Nou, is a small cove on Ibiza’s south coast, framed by reddish cliffs and open views of the sea. Clear water makes it a good stop for swimming and snorkeling, while the sheltered setting suits a quiet beach break. The shore has stones and rocks as well as sand, so water shoes or sandals can help. Nearby restaurants serve fresh fish, including bullit de peix, a local fish stew.
The Phoenician settlement
Ruins of Ibiza’s first Phoenician settlement lie near the beach. To reach them, take the path to the left before you enter the cove. The remains add a historical stop to a visit focused on the shore and sea.
