Anchoring

18 spots on sand

A natural beach of fine white sand between Es Pujols and Llevant, dotted with rocky outcrops and backed by dunes that separate it from the Estany Pudent lagoon, inside the Ses Salines Natural Park. The water is clear and shallow, with sand, rock and posidonia that are great for watching fish with a mask, though the way into the water is rocky in places. A little off the beaten track, it is usually quiet, with views of Ibiza and very few facilities.

Anchoring

Arena suggests 18 spots to anchor on sand, clear of Posidonia; the closest to the meadow is 22 m away.

Approximate depth: 3.7–7.2 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.
