Anchoring

15 spots on sand

A beach of about 500 m of fine white or pinkish sand, 2 km from La Savina, facing north-west towards the harbour, Ibiza and Es Vedrà. Very gentle waves and a sandy seabed with posidonia that shelves slowly (1.5 m deep 50 m out), backed by dunes and a juniper wood. A relaxed atmosphere, good sunsets and services: a restaurant, beach bars and sunlounger hire.

Shelter by direction

Anchoring

Arena suggests 15 spots to anchor on sand, clear of Posidonia; the closest to the meadow is 98 m away.

Approximate depth: 4.8–8 m (EMODnet bathymetry).

Anchoring on Posidonia is forbidden: the app shows the meadow on the map and warns you if the anchor would land on it.
