Size: 50 metres long, 30 metres wide
Getting there: Only reached by car or bicycle. Coming from Ibiza Town, drive to Jesús and turn right behind the church. Follow the main street through the whole village and turn left where you see a rock with the beach's name painted on it. Follow the road until you see a rock on the right with Cala Bonita on it and turn right here. Follow the steep dirt track down to the beach. Large sandy car park, free of charge.
The beach
S'Estanyol beach is a pretty little cove that's off the beaten track, making it perfect for when you want to escape from the crowds, especially during high season.
The seaweed is not cleared away in this bay, which helps to protect it from erosion.
The entrance to the sea is rocky, though if you enter the sea from the small wooden pier, the sea bed becomes smoother and the waters are crystalline and pure. All around, you will find ideal snorkelling spots.
On the left hand side there is a strip of higher rocks and fishermen's huts where nudists go for peace and quiet. If you want to enter the water from here, you can, though bathing shoes are recommended.
The restaurant which also offered sun loungers is not open anymore.
Spotlight tip
The surrounding hills offer lovely walking possibilities, on sandy roads with few traffic through fragrant pine forests, or along the cliffs with great views.

A short drive by car will bring you to the resort of Talamanca with a good choice of hotels for each budget. Ibiza Town also is just a 15-minute drive.
