BeachCala Salada and Cala Saladeta
Two coves near Sant Antoni: Cala Salada, with a restaurant and boathouses, and, along a 200 m coastal path, the smaller Cala Saladeta, which has no facilities.
What makes Cala Saladeta special
Next to the larger Cala Salada, some 4 km north of the town of Sant Antoni, you’ll find little Cala Saladeta. This white-sand cove is on the west coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany.
A rocky cliff separates the two coves, with boathouses at its foot. Between the coves is a small jetty, which serves both as a mooring point for boats and as a place to lie in the sun.
The little beach is about 60 to 70 metres long and surrounded by woodland and medium-height cliffs. The cove faces south and is sheltered from the wind. The seabed is sandy and the water clear. There are no tourist facilities.
Getting there and parking
You can only reach Cala Saladeta on foot or from the water. From Cala Salada, it’s a walk of about 200 metres along a path beside the cliff. The path is rocky and uneven, so wear sturdy shoes.
In summer, there’s daytime access control on the road to Cala Salada, so you can’t get through in an ordinary car. In 2026, bicycles, motorbikes, taxis and vehicles for people with disabilities could still get through. The council sets new dates and times every year, so check them before you go.
Sant Antoni town council runs a ‘connected beaches’ scheme here: you leave your car at a free park-and-ride and take the bus to the beach. The bus leaves from Sant Antoni bus station and stops at Can Coix, where the park-and-ride is.
You can also go by boat. In summer, boats sail from the harbour in Sant Antoni to Cala Salada.
Facilities
There’s no restaurant on Cala Saladeta itself, and no sunloungers or toilets. There is a restaurant at Cala Salada. The council lists a lifeguard in summer; don’t count on one outside the season.
Tips for your visit
- Bring plenty of water, something to eat and your own parasol.
- Cala Saladeta is small, and the two coves draw a lot of visitors in summer, so it’s best to arrive early.
- Wear shoes with a good grip for the path along the rocks; flip-flops aren’t practical here.
- Take your rubbish away with you.
- The coastline around the two coves is good for exploring by kayak.
Safety and nature
Stay on the path and don’t climb the cliffs. There’s woodland around the cove, and from 1 May to 15 October, lighting fires in natural areas is banned across the Balearic Islands. If you’re coming by boat, don’t anchor on Posidonia seagrass.
