BeachRolling Stones Beach
A small pebble beach on the edge of Ibiza Town, between Talamanca and the ferry port. No official name and no facilities; handy for a quick dip.
What makes Talamanca special
Platja de Talamanca lies in an enclosed, sheltered bay close to the centre of Ibiza Town. According to Ibiza Town council, it’s the largest beach in the municipality, at 900 metres long and 30 metres wide. The water is shallow, and the council describes Talamanca as a family beach.
From the beach you look across the water to Dalt Vila, the walled old town. The sand is white and medium-grained, with a few rocks at either end. The seabed is sandy, with patches covered in algae.
The bay is home to an extensive meadow of Posidonia seagrass. This meadow is part of Ibiza’s UNESCO World Heritage Site and, according to the council, has very high ecological value.
Getting there and parking
From the centre of Ibiza Town, you can walk to Talamanca along the Passeig Joan Carles I. Buses also run to the beach. If you’re driving, follow the signs. According to the council, you can park for free in the car park or in the marked areas.
You can also go by boat. A boat runs from the harbour in Ibiza Town to Marina Botafoch, and the marina is close to the beach.
