Beaches along the Bay of San Antonio, Ibiza (Sant Antoni)
In the lovely wide
Bay of San Antonio you're never far from a beach; five small ones are within short walking distance from either end. In fact a favourite
way to start - or end - the day, is a stroll along the shoreline path connecting the beaches that all have bars open 'til late.
Each small beach has its own character and atmosphere, so you may like to try a couple of them before deciding which is your favourite.
You can also take a ferry boat to one of the nearby beaches, such as Cala Conta or Cala Bassa. They depart hourly from
many landing points along the bay and from San Antonio marina.

bay from San Antonio the first small beach you come to is Es Puet. It's a sweep of fine golden sand and shallow water that is perfect for children to play safely in.
Tip: The small jetty by Es Puet snack bar is a great place from which to fish...or, if you prefer, to feed them bread!

other beaches. Showers on the beach.

Walking further round the small headland you'll find the 2 coves that make up the beach of S'Estanyol. Both have small sandy beaches leading to shallow waters and a good choice of
watersports.
Facilities: On the smaller cove there's a beach bar often specialising in BBQ's in the summer months. The latter beach has access to a restaurant and bar
through a short alleyway. The ferry to San Antonio and other beaches can also be caught here from the small jetty.

Playa Pinet

Playa
Pinet is the next beach round the bay and the ferry boat goes directly there from San Antonio to save walking! The sand is soft and the water shallow.

Finally the last beach in the bay is Playa Xinxo but everyone knows it as Playa Bella beach, named after the apartment complex that overlooks it. It's a golden curve of sand which shelves gently in calm waters; great for the kids or lolling about on a lilo!
Facilities: small complex at the back of the beach has a range of shops and bars. On the beach is a small kiosko bar selling cool drinks. The ferries to San Antonio
and to the bays of the west coast also leave from the small jetty.
Playa Port d'es Torrent
Location: At the western end of the resort of San Antonio Bay
Facilities: Sunbeds, parasols, showers, beach bars, lifeguards
Activities: Pedaloes, banana boat
After walking along the main street of San Antonio Bay away from San Antonio you finally reach Port d’es Torrent, a popular beach at the end of the resort. In fact, t does not
really belong to the Bay of San Antonio itself, it is just around the corner, facing west.
The bay is a deep inlet into the coast, so the waters are tranquil and safe for swimming. The golden sand is fine grained and declines very gently into the sea, the water is crystal clear, perfect
for diving and snorkelling. A few hotels border the beach, but also a pine wooded area, which gives it a nice natural atmosphere.
Facilities: A beach restaurant caters for all your needs. Port d’es Torrent is also reached by bus and there are good parking facilities for those coming by car.
