        Ibiza’s Beaches

        Apart from the clubs, Ibiza’s main attraction is its
        beaches. There are over 50 of them, adding up to
        over 50 km (30 miles) of stunning coastline. Many
        of the most popular ones are on the southeast
        coast, between Santa Eulària des Riu and Cala
        de Sant Vicent, and have excellent facilities. It is
        still possible to find a quieter spot. The delightful   1 Cala es Figueral
