Cala Bassa, Beach in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain.
The 300-meter stretch of fine sand offers clear waters against a backdrop of Mediterranean pine forests bordering the shoreline.
Initially a natural cove frequented by local fishermen, Cala Bassa transformed into a tourist destination with the development of Ibiza's coastline in the 1960s.
The beach integrates Spanish coastal traditions through its beachside restaurants serving local seafood dishes and traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
Visitors can access the beach via the PM-803 road from Sant Antoni, with a paid parking area and facilities for people with reduced mobility.
The shallow, crystal-clear waters create natural swimming pools between rock formations, making it suitable for underwater exploration and photography.

Spain's coastlines present a wide variety of beaches, from the white sand shores of the Balearic Islands to the rocky coves of Cantabria along the Atlantic. This collection includes beaches such as Playa de Rodas in the Cíes Islands, the urban beach of La Concha in San Sebastián, and the secluded coves of Formentera including Ses Illetes and Cala Saona. In Andalusia, beaches like Playa de Bolonia near Tarifa feature Roman ruins nearby, while the volcanic landscapes of Cabo de Gata showcase Los Genoveses and Playa de Monsul. The Asturian coast displays natural formations such as Gulpiyuri, a beach enclosed within cliffs, and Playa del Silencio. The Canary Islands offer diverse beach types, from the golden sands of Las Teresitas in Tenerife to the expansive shores of Sotavento in Fuerteventura. This selection documents the geographic and geological range of Spanish beaches and provides practical information about location, access, and local features of each site.
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.
