Cala Bassa, Beach in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain.
Cala Bassa is a beach in Sant Josep de sa Talaia with fine sand stretching about 300 meters and shallow, clear water. Pine forests line the shore, and rocky outcrops dot the water's edge, creating a sheltered cove.
The cove began as a small fishing harbor where locals kept their boats. Tourism brought development to Ibiza's coastline starting in the 1960s, transforming this place into a resort destination.
The beach is a gathering place where locals and visitors mix, especially during golden hour when light touches the water. Seaside restaurants reflect how people here have always eaten, serving fresh fish and regional dishes that remain central to daily life.
The beach is accessible via the PM-803 road from Sant Antoni and offers paid parking at the entrance. Facilities for people with reduced mobility are available, and the shallow water makes swimming safe and easy for all.
At low tide, rock pools form between the outcrops, creating shallow basins where small fish and sea creatures gather. Visitors often miss these quiet spots tucked into the shoreline, overlooking an easy way to explore marine life.
