The beach
Below the splendid promenade, Santa Eulalia has an extremely good, long, wide beach of fine, white sand drawn from the sea. The waters are clean and shallow, safe for children and inviting for less confident swimmers.
You will find a wide range of facilities on the beach as well as along the promenade. In the shade of palm trees, passing flowering bushes, an old water mill and a fountain, enjoy a stroll to the beach Santa Eulalia Bay and the river mouth at the south end or to the beautiful marina at the north end.
The main beach of Santa Eulalia is entirely smoke-free in a bid to keep the sands pristine for all who visit it. There are water sports and boat trips available from the nearby marina, see the link above.
Between the white sand, the well-facilitated promenade and sparkling clean waters, Santa Eulalia beach has the ultimate holiday getaway atmosphere.

The beach
A broad beach with fine, light-coloured sand at the mouth of the only river on Ibiza. The seabed is shallow and safe for children and the water usually calm. Several beach restaurants line the promenade, which leads into the town centre, only a 10-minute walk away.
At the river, there is a picturesque tiny harbour that's a meeting point for canoeists and sailors. A lovely path leads along the riverbank to a small bridge, over which the small neighbouring resort of Siesta is reached.
Beach bars and restaurants

In the elegant marina, you can dine al fresco on warm summer evenings when the whole marina is lit with sparkling lights, and holidaymakers stroll past the exclusive yachts.
