A small cove within walking distance of Santa Eulària des Riu, named after the beach restaurant of the same name.
What makes Platja de Santa Eulària special
Right in the centre of Santa Eulària des Riu, on Ibiza’s east coast, is the town beach, Platja de Santa Eulària. In Spanish, the town is called Santa Eulalia del Río. The beach runs directly alongside the promenade, the paseo marítimo. According to the town council, it’s about 300 m long and 40 m wide.
The sand is fine and pale, and the seabed is sandy too. The town council describes the beach as suitable for families. Thanks to the gently sloping seabed and the wind conditions, it’s also a good place to learn to sail, according to the council.
The marina is right next to the beach. In summer, boats leave from there for Es Canar, Cala Llonga, Ibiza Town and Formentera.
The beach has a 2026 Blue Flag. In the EU bathing water assessment, the water was rated ‘excellent’ for the 2025 season. According to the town council, the beach also holds certificates for environmental management and universal accessibility.
Getting there and parking
You walk onto the beach from the streets of the town centre, which lead down to the promenade. If you come by car, park in town and walk the last stretch. In high season, finding a space can be tricky.
There are three reserved parking spaces for disabled people. From there, an adapted, signposted route leads to a ramp down onto the beach.
You can take the bus from Ibiza Town to Santa Eulària. In summer, you can also go by boat, which arrives at the marina next to the beach. Always check the current timetable.
