The beach
The popular mini resort Cala Llonga is reached via winding roads with spectacular views. Wide and sandy, its beach borders the immensely picturesque bay with tall, pine-clad hills on either side that ensure this resort is sheltered, forming a powerful suntrap that's ideal for those looking for maximum bronzing factor!
The beach has several wooden walkways so you can access the water without burning your feet! It has special underwater pumps designed to clean the water. Its shallow waters go quite a way out, making it safe for children; plus, there's a playground area right on the sand.
Though many take advantage of the umbrellas and sun-loungers on offer, the large sandy area means there is still plenty of room to chuck a towel down on the sand.
A number of bars offer drinks and snacks directly on the beach while, on the left, there is a shaded restaurant with a large terrace offering paella, fish and meat dishes. There is an ATM just back from the beach.
Ferries operate from Cala Llonga to Ibiza Town, Santa Eulalia, Es Caná and Formentera. The jetty and ticket kiosk are located at the end of the promenade on the left-hand side of the beach.
You'll find a good choice of souvenir shops, boutiques and small supermarkets, all within easy reach, making sure you want for nothing! In summer, there is also a small funfair with bumper cars, trampolines and small electric cars for children.
Spotlight tip
Every Thursday evening during the summer season there is a small market happening on the promenade, which is accompanied by live music most evenings. Find quality fashion and accessories, also handmade, or other nice souvenirs to bring home as a memory.
Beach bars and restaurants
The beach itself is lined with busy little cafes and restaurants with a good variety of cuisine at very moderate prices. In the surrounding streets, you'll also find some great little restaurants.
