Platja des Cavallet, Mediterranean beach in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain
Platja des Cavallet is a sandy beach on the southwestern coast of Ibiza, stretching about 1100 meters long and 30 meters wide. The water is clear and the sand is fine-grained, perfect for swimming and relaxing in the sun.
The beach has retained its natural coastal landscape for centuries and once served as a vital link between Ibiza and the nearby island of Formentera. This role as a natural connection point remains part of its character today.
A section of the beach welcomes visitors without clothing requirements, which reflects how Mediterranean beaches accommodate different preferences. People from all over gather here without any sense of restriction or awkwardness about this choice.
The beach has sunbeds, umbrellas, showers, and beachfront restaurants available, with ample parking near the entrance. The water entry is gradual and easy, making it accessible for all types of visitors throughout the day.
The waters here protect delicate underwater ecosystems, so spearfishing is prohibited in the surrounding area. Snorkelers can still observe fish and habitats that have been left to develop naturally without interference.
