Beaches
and Calas of Ibiza
|
|
More than 18 kilometres of beaches
await you on the island of Ibiza,
allowing you to choose the atmosphere,
the winds and the activities you wish
to practise in any of them. There are
beaches of all sorts - family,
sporting, solitary, wild, tranquil,
with deep or shallow waters for
children's bathing - it is for you to
decide. Remember, the island of Ibiza
has an area of 572 square kilometres,
and the greatest distances by road are
between 15 and 40 kilometres, so that
all this is on hand, close to you.
The 18 kilometres are divided between
56 beaches distributed along the
entire coastline of Ibiza and thus,
while you travel through countryside
set off with the remains of more than
2,600 years of history, you can
choose, with the help of this guide,
the beach which best suits your
personality or the needs of your
family.
An island is like a boat and for this
reason we recommend that at the start
of the day the first thing you should
find out, before choosing a beach, is
the direction of the wind; if you are
looking for a calm sea, go to the
opposite side of the island from the
direction the wind  is
coming from, the leeward side in
seaman's language; on the other hand,
if you want a sea with greater
movement, more appropriate for certain
sports, go towards the part of the
coast where the wind is coming from,
the windward in the language of the
sea.
If you like snorkelling, don't take
snails, crabs or any other marine
animal; these will be of no use to
you, whereas they are needed by
nature. Do not take hold of fish with
your hands as some species can produce
painful stings if they feel
threatened.
A holiday next to the sea, on the
beach, sunbathing, is a pleasure
sought by millions of people. Remember
to enjoy all the alternative things on
offer in our island.
