Cala de Sant Vicent

A wide sandy bay in north-east Ibiza with clear, shallow water, beach facilities and a view of the islet of Tagomago.

What makes Cala de Sant Vicent special

At the north-eastern tip of Ibiza, where a valley meets the sea, lies the wide sandy bay of Cala de Sant Vicent. It belongs to the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja and is about 3 km east of the small village of Sant Vicent de sa Cala. Steep cliffs close off the bay to the south, and wooded hills rise inland.

The water is clear and shallow, with a sandy bottom, which makes the bay a good choice for families with children. Turespaña, Spain’s national tourism organisation, does note moderate waves, though: when the wind blows in from the sea, waves can build up.

A small resort has grown up around the bay, with hotels, restaurants and shops. So this isn’t unspoilt nature, but most things are within walking distance. Straight out to sea, opposite the shore, lies the islet of Tagomago.

In 2026 the bay was awarded a Blue Flag. In the EU bathing water assessment, the water here was rated ‘excellent’ for the 2025 season, as it was for the ten seasons before that.

Getting there and parking

Cala de Sant Vicent is just over 30 km from Ibiza Town. By car, you can get there from Sant Joan to the west or from Santa Eulària des Riu to the south.

There’s a car park by the beach, and a bus runs from Ibiza Town. The route number and timetable change with the season, so check them shortly before you set off.

Facilities

Turespaña lists the following facilities for this beach. Most are only available in season.

  • Sunlounger and parasol hire
  • Water sports equipment hire
  • Toilets, showers and foot showers
  • Litter bins and beach cleaning
  • A designated diving area
  • Restaurants, cafés and shops around the bay

Tips for your visit

  • Bring water shoes if you want to swim or snorkel along the rocks at the edges of the bay.
  • If you’re visiting outside July and August, check in advance which restaurants and hire outlets are open.
  • Just over a kilometre inland is the Cova des Culleram, a cave that was a sanctuary of the goddess Tanit in ancient times. Check beforehand whether, and when, you can visit it.
  • If you swim or snorkel further out, keep a close eye out for boats.
