BeachPorroig
A small fishing cove on the south-west coast of Ibiza, with traditional boathouses and a shingle beach. No beach bar, so bring your own food and drink.
What makes Es Torrent special
On Ibiza’s south coast, near Porroig in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, lies the small cove of Es Torrent. The beach is made up of pebbles and rocks, and the water is clear and deep. Golden cliffs rise behind the cove.
There’s one restaurant on the beach, serving mainly fish and seafood. Otherwise, the cove is largely undeveloped. This is a place for a swim and lunch by the sea rather than a whole day stretched out on a towel.
Don’t mix up the names: Es Torrent is not the same place as Port des Torrent. That’s a sandy beach on the west coast, at the end of the road around the bay of Sant Antoni.
Getting there and parking
From Sant Josep, drive towards Ibiza Town. After a few kilometres, on a bend, you’ll see the signposted turn-off for Porroig on the right. About halfway along that road, another signposted road branches off to the right, to Es Torrent. Follow it to the end.
At the end of the road there’s a car park, which according to the town council belongs to the restaurant. Es Torrent is just over 8 km from Sant Josep and just over 14 km from Ibiza Town. The council lists car and bike as ways to get there and doesn’t mention a bus.
Facilities
- Restaurant serving fish and seafood
- Toilets (at the restaurant)
- Car park (at the restaurant)
- Sunloungers and parasols for hire in season
The town council says nothing about showers, lifeguards or adapted access. Don’t assume they’re there.
Tips for your visit
- Bring water shoes: the shore is made up of pebbles and rocks. The town council recommends them too.
- If you’re looking for soft sand to lie on, choose another beach. The pebbles are less comfortable.
- If you want to eat at the restaurant, check the opening hours beforehand and ask whether you need to book.
- The clear water around the rocks is interesting for snorkelling.
Safety and nature
The town council describes the water as deep, so keep children who can’t swim well close to you. No lifeguards are mentioned. Take care getting into the water, as pebbles and rocks can be slippery.
