Platja Es Canar, Golden sand beach in Santa Eulària des Riu, Spain
Platja Es Canar is a sandy beach with a gentle slope along the Mediterranean coast in Santa Eulària des Riu. The calm inlet setting and shallow waters make it an accessible swimming spot for various groups of visitors.
A small fishing port beside the beach dates back many years and continues its traditional connection to the sea. Local llaüts boats, characteristic wooden vessels of Mediterranean fishing heritage, still define the harbor's appearance today.
The weekly market at Punta Arabí nearby draws crowds looking for handmade goods and local products in a lively outdoor setting. This gathering shapes the rhythm of the area and connects visitors with the region's artisan traditions.
The beach is easily reached by car via the road connecting Santa Eulària and Sant Carles, with parking spaces nearby. Public buses link the area to surrounding villages, making it convenient to visit without a personal vehicle.
From the shoreline, visitors see rocky outcrops like Esculls d'en Racó and several small islands within view. These rocky formations and islets, including Illa des Canar, create a distinctive coastal landscape that many visitors overlook.

Ibiza showcases a Mediterranean heritage that extends far beyond its reputation for partying. The island features Dalt Vila, a fortified medieval quarter from the 16th century, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, with a Gothic cathedral and a castle overlooking the port. The coastline alternates between protected coves like Cala Saladeta, nestled among limestone rocks and pine forests, and larger beaches such as Cala Tarida, stretching over 900 meters. Offshore, the islet of Es Vedra rises from the sea at an elevation of 1,253 feet (382 meters), creating a nature reserve home to falcons and wild goats. The shoreline reveals preserved bays with Mediterranean pines descending to white sand. Cala Comte includes three distinct coves framed by rocky formations, while Cala Bassa provides easy access via parking and seaside amenities. The Punta Arabí market, established in 1973, has brought together local artisans and creators for half a century, offering textiles, jewelry, and decorative objects. An island that combines history, nature, and local life away from nightlife scenes.
