Ibiza’s Top 7 Beaches: From Secret Coves to Sunset Drumming Spots

Punta Galera

An icon of our younger years, Punta Galera is legendary to anyone who’s ever done an Ibiza summer ‘season’, Just north of San Antonio, some remarkable feat of geology has created a tumbling, terraced rock formation that staggers down to the sea in a series of rose-red sandstone platforms. At the lower reaches are vast, flat rocks where hippies, cool kids and a few laidback nudists soak up the superlative sunsets before diving into the deepest inky depths.

The queen of southerly beaches, Cala Conta is a narrow slip of sand indented by rugged cliffs and jagged headlands to create a series of startling miniature beaches. The water is shallow and peppered with rocky islets and there are four fabulous beach bars to choose from, of which Sunset Ashram is a bohemian classic and Chiringuito Escondido the castaway shack of your dreams. Come early – the beaches are packed by late morning.
