BeachCala Saladeta
A small white-sand cove next to Cala Salada, reached by a path along the rocks or from the water. No facilities, so bring water and your own shade.
What makes Platja de sa Galera special
Platja de sa Galera lies on the north-west coast of Ibiza, between Cala Salada and Cala Gració, in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany. The Enciclopèdia d’Eivissa i Formentera also calls it racó de sa Galera. It’s a small inlet next to the punta de sa Galera, a rocky headland about 350 metres long.
Around the headland, flat stone terraces at different heights form a kind of amphitheatre. They were created by an old quarry. Visitors use the terraces for sunbathing and for swimming off the rocks.
Don’t expect a wide sandy beach. This is a natural, rocky spot at the foot of a steep coastline. The rock terraces on the headland itself have their own entry on the map as a secret spot: Punta Galera.
The spot is remote, and nudism is common here.
Getting there and parking
You can only reach sa Galera on foot. Sant Antoni town council describes the walk as tough but worth it. The last part goes down over paths and rocks.
It’s about 4 km from Sant Antoni. By car, head towards Cala Salada. Between the headland and Cala Salada there’s a scattered residential area. Only park where it’s allowed, and keep driveways clear.
If you enjoy walking, there’s a 12 km coastal route from Caló des Moro in Sant Antoni. It passes Cala Salada, Punta Galera and Cala Gració. The town council rates its difficulty as ‘high’.
Facilities
There are no facilities: no beach bar, no sunlounger hire, no toilets and no lifeguards. Bring enough water, food and sun protection with you.
Tips for your visit
- Wear sturdy shoes for the descent and carry your things in a rucksack.
- A mat or a thick towel makes the stone terraces more comfortable to lie on.
- Bring a snorkel: you can snorkel along the coast from the rocks, but only when the sea is calm.
- The town council mentions Punta Galera as a place to watch the sunset. Bring a torch for the walk back.
- Take all your rubbish back up with you.
Safety and nature
This cliff coast is covered by regional and European nature protection rules. Stay on existing paths, don’t light fires and leave plants and rocks as you find them.
