Five of our favourite beaches near San Jose

1) Cala Conta may well be Ibiza’s most popular beach and is one of the best beaches on the island from which to watch the sunset from the beach or one of the popular restaurants.

2) Cala Tarida is a sheltered bay with a long beach of fine white sand, shallow water and some interesting calas to the north.

3) Cala Moli is a tiny, rock cala set in pine-covered hills and ideal if you’d like to leave the crowds behind.

4) Es Cubells is three beaches near the delightful village of Es Cubells just outside San Josep — Es Cubells is pebbly with crystal clear waters, Es Xarcu is a tranquil cove, Cala Llentrisica is harder to reach but secluded for this reason.
