Benirràs

Benirràs is a beach on Ibiza’s north coast, near Sant Joan de Labritja, with clear water, a sandy and pebbly shore, and pine-covered hills around the bay. Come for a swim or snorkel, browse the small market in summer, or stay for sunset. On some evenings, drummers gather by the water, though the sessions do not follow a reliably stated schedule. For a view over the bay, a path and steps on the left side lead up behind the boat shacks; take care on the rocky sections.

The beach and bay

Benirràs sits on Ibiza’s northern coast near Sant Joan de Labritja, in a bay framed by pine-covered hills. The shore mixes sand with small pebbles, and the clear water draws swimmers and snorkellers. Rocky stretches give the water’s edge a varied feel, so water shoes can be useful.

There are bars and restaurants near the beach entrance, as well as a small market in summer. The bay is also a popular place for boats to anchor.

Sunset and the path above the beach

The beach is known for sunset gatherings with drums, but the sessions take place only on certain days. Their schedule is not consistent, so don’t plan around a particular weekday without checking locally. Even without a gathering, you can watch the changing light from the shore or climb to a viewpoint above the bay.

On the left side of the beach, steps behind the boat shacks lead to a path with views over the coast. The climb is manageable for some, but the rocky sections carry a risk of falling. Keep your footing and turn back if the route feels uncomfortable.
