BeachCala Espart
A small pebble cove below Roca Llisa on Ibiza’s east coast. No beach bar or sunloungers; good for snorkelling when the sea is calm.
What makes Cala Olivera special
Off the road from Jesús to Cala Llonga, in the Roca Llisa residential area and close to the golf course, lies the small cove of Cala Olivera. It belongs to the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, on Ibiza’s east coast.
According to the town council, the little beach is about 30 m long and 10 m wide. It’s sandy, and the seabed is partly sand and partly rock. The cove is surrounded by woodland and the water is very clear. The council describes Cala Olivera as a beach that doesn’t get many visitors.
At 30 by 10 m, there isn’t much room for towels. So expect a small cove, not a broad stretch of sand.
Getting there and parking
You drive into the Roca Llisa residential area from the road between Jesús and Cala Llonga. There’s a security checkpoint at the entrance. According to the town council, though, the beach is open to everyone.
Cala Olivera is about 8 km from Santa Eulària. There’s no official information on parking or on the last stretch to the beach. Older descriptions mention a narrow, unpaved access road and few parking spaces, so a small car, scooter or bike is handy. Be prepared to walk part of the way.
Facilities
The town council lists no facilities for Cala Olivera. Assume there are no lifeguards, sunloungers, parasols or toilets. A small beach bar has been mentioned in the past, but it hasn’t been confirmed whether it’s still there.
So bring everything you need yourself:
- Plenty of drinking water and something to eat
- Shade, such as a small parasol
- Water shoes for the rocky parts of the seabed
- A bag to take your rubbish home with you
Tips for your visit
- The clear water and rocky seabed make the cove interesting for snorkelling.
- You’re driving through a residential area: stick to the speed limit, don’t park in front of driveways and keep the noise down.
- If you’re after more facilities, the larger bay of Cala Llonga is further along the same road.
Safety and nature
No lifeguards are mentioned. Ideally, don’t swim alone, and stay close to the shore when there are waves. Only climb on the rocks around the cove if you’re steady on your feet, as they can be slippery.
