Two small coves with traditional boathouses on the north side of the bay of Cala Tarida. Tricky to reach via a coastal path, with no facilities.
What makes Cala Codolar special
Between Cala Tarida and Platges de Comte, on Ibiza’s west coast, lies Cala Codolar. This small cove is in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. The beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, enclosed by pine-covered cliffs.
When the sea is calm, the rocky edges of the cove are good for snorkelling. Around sunset, you look out over the islets off the west coast. Sant Josep town council describes Cala Codolar as less busy than the beaches nearby. The beach is small, though, so there isn’t much room.
Mind the name: this isn’t Es Codolar near the airport. That long pebble beach is on the south coast, on the edge of Ses Salines Natural Park, and has its own page on the map.
Facilities
According to Sant Josep town council, Cala Codolar has only a few facilities:
- a kiosk
- sunloungers for hire
- no toilets and no showers
- no car park
The council’s information doesn’t mention a lifeguard. As there’s only a kiosk, it’s best to bring enough water and sun protection with you.
Getting there and parking
Cala Codolar is about 7 km from the village of Sant Josep and 20 km from Ibiza Town. You drive there on a paved road from Cala Tarida, or from the road between Sant Antoni and Port des Torrent. The last stretch to the beach is a short walk down.
The town council lists car and bike as ways to get there. There’s no car park, so only park where it’s allowed and keep the access road clear.
By bus, you can get as far as Cala Tarida. In 2026, the routes serving it include the A1 from Sant Antoni and the P9 from Ibiza Town via Sant Josep. Check the current timetable to see whether there’s a stop closer to Cala Codolar.
Tips for your visit
- Bring water shoes: there are pebbles among the sand, and the edges of the cove are rocky.
- Pack a snorkel set for the rocks on either side of the cove.
- If you’re staying until sunset, bring a torch for the way back.
- Nearby on the map you’ll also find the artwork known as ‘Stonehenge Ibiza’ and Smugglers Cave. Read the access information for those places first.
Safety and nature
- The descent to the beach is short, but wear shoes with good grip.
- Take care getting in and out of the water at the rocky edges; the rocks can be slippery and sharp.
- From 1 May to 15 October, recreational fires are banned in woodland throughout the Balearic Islands. So don’t light a fire or a barbecue among the pines.
