Location: 15 minutes' drive from San José, 10 minutes from Cala Vadella
Facilities: Loungers, parasols, restaurants
Size: 50 metres long, 50 metres wide
Getting there: Reached only by car. There's a small car park at the entrance to the beach and you can park along the road. Still, it can get tricky to find a place at weekends in peak season.

The beach

Cala Carbó is one of Ibiza's most private little beaches. A narrow road will take you to the small, sheltered cove surrounded by rocky, pine clad hills.

Along the way you will have the most stunning views of the impressive island Es Vedrà rising from the sea. However, from the beach itself you can't see this landmark of Ibiza.

The beach is a combination of pebbles and some sand. The seabed shelves gently into the water, but it is mostly rocky, so bathing shoes are recommended.

The bay is very sheltered, so the water is mostly calm. The rocks at either side are ideal for snorkelling in the cristal clear water.

Beach bars and restaurants

There are two traditional beach restaurants, specialised on seafood and paella. On weekends, they are very popular with the locals; so you may need to book.
