PLAYA DE S´ESTANYOL

Description and type: Access is difficult because of an unsurfaced road in poor condition which leaves the asphalted road between Jesus and Roca Llisa. There is a footpath across country.

Means of transport: Private car, bicycle.

Distance. 8 kilometres from Ibiza 14 kilometres from Santa Eularia.

Description: Situated in one of the most untouched corners of the island, it consists of a small cove open to the south and protected by a headland in the form of a small peninsula.
Length: 70 metres - Width: 25 metres
Composition: On the actual shoreline it is rocky and this continues out to the far end of the cove which is of fine natural sand.
Sea bottom: Areas of rock and sand alternate with considerable underwater vegetation. The gradient is gentle, with the depth not reaching 2 metres until more than 30 metres out.
Direction, prevailing winds: A very sheltered area, thanks to being enclosed, with scarcely any exposure to winds, those that exist are light and from the sea.
Panoramic aspects: The form of a typical cove enclosed by pine-covered hills and the water's clarity provide scenery of great beauty.

SUMMARY COMMENT: This place is ideal for lovers of country walks, given the interesting nature of its access; the beach itself has a very peaceful ambience, and offers interesting snorkelling possibilities.
Other point or small coves of interest in the municipality of Santa Eularia are Sa Caleta, the beach of La Punta des Andreus, Sol d'en Serra and Ses Estanques. These are really areas found among rocks with access to the sea, or small inlets.
