Es Pujolets

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 Es Pujolets special

On the north side of the bay of Cala Tarida, on Ibiza’s west coast, lie the two small sandy coves of Es Pujolets. They belong to the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. By the coves stand traditional fishermen’s boathouses, which their owners still use.

Along the shore are low hills with clay-like soil, and there’s a small cave. This isn’t a wide sandy beach: you mostly get into the water from flat rock shelves.

By land, Es Pujolets is harder to reach than the big beach at Cala Tarida next door. There are no beach facilities and there’s no shade. So it’s a spot for people who bring everything they need with them.

Getting there and parking

From the village of Sant Josep, drive towards Sant Antoni and after about 500 m turn left towards Cala Tarida. After the roundabout, follow the road to the beach and park in the Cala Tarida Nord car park. There’s no parking at Es Pujolets itself.

From the car park, take the path along the cliff on the right-hand side of the beach (looking out to sea from the sand). It brings you to a viewpoint above the boathouses. From there, a footpath leads down to Es Pujolets. The descent is tricky, so wear sturdy shoes.

You can also reach Es Pujolets by water, for example by kayak or SUP from Cala Tarida.

Facilities

There are no facilities: no toilets or showers, nowhere to eat or drink, no sunloungers, no access ramp and no lifeguard. There’s no shade either. The nearest facilities are on the beach at Cala Tarida.

  • Drinking water and food
  • Your own shade, sun cream and a hat
  • Sturdy shoes for the path and water shoes for the rocks
  • Snorkelling gear
  • A bag for your rubbish

Tips for your visit

  • Respect the boathouses: they have owners and are in use. Leave them alone and don’t use them for shade or as a changing room.
  • You can snorkel along the rocks, but watch out for boats coming in and out of the bay of Cala Tarida.
  • Ideally, go on a day with little wind. When there are waves, getting in and out of the water from the rock shelves is tricky.
  • Take all your rubbish back with you.

Safety and nature

Clay slopes can crumble and are slippery when wet. Stay away from the cliff edge, don’t climb the slopes and don’t sit under overhangs or in the cave. There’s no lifeguard: don’t swim alone and stay close to the shore.
