BeachCala Nova
A sandy beach about 250 m long near Es Canar, open to the east. Easterly winds bring waves; in season there are lifeguards, restaurants and sunloungers.
What makes Es Canar special
Es Canar is a seaside resort with a sandy beach in a horseshoe-shaped bay. The village is on Ibiza’s east coast, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, about 5 km from the centre of Santa Eulària. Hotels line the back of the beach, and bars, restaurants and little shops ring the bay. At the southern end is a small harbour.
According to the town council, the beach is about 350 m long and 30 to 40 m wide. Both the beach and the seabed are fine, light-coloured sand, and the seabed slopes gently. That makes it a practical beach for families. Always keep an eye on children in the water, though.
Facilities
Among the facilities Santa Eulària town council lists for Es Canar are:
- sunloungers and parasols for hire
- showers and foot showers
- lifeguards
- water sports such as water-skiing, jet skiing, parasailing, windsurfing and kayaking
- restaurants, bars and souvenir shops
- adapted access and parking spaces for people with reduced mobility
- assisted bathing in an amphibious wheelchair
Not everything is available all year round. Outside the high season there may be less on offer, so check on site what’s open.
Punta Arabí hippie market
About a kilometre from the beach, in the grounds of the hotel of the same name, is the Punta Arabí hippie market. It has been running since 1973. According to the organisers, it has more than 400 stalls selling crafts, fashion and decorative items.
In season, the market is open every Wednesday. For 2026, the organisers gave April to October as the season. The stalls open at 10:00 and close at 18:00 in April, May and October, and at 19:00 from June to September. Dates and times can change from year to year, so check the official website before you go.

Tips for your visit
- Combine a Wednesday on the beach with a visit to the hippie market.
