Cala Salada

About Cala Salada

Cala Salada is a protected cove surrounded by pine forest on Ibiza's west coast, just north of San Antonio. The cove is a favourite spot for locals, with shallow, clear waters perfect for swimming. Luxury yachts often anchor just offshore which looks like the best place to be during the summer peak season, as the sandy shoreline can become very crowded. A restaurant at the end of the beach serves traditional Spanish dishes, with a kiosk attached where visitors can grab drinks and snacks to enjoy on the sand.
