Though Ibiza is only a little place transport is sometimes problematic. Holidaymakers usually find Ibiza’s public transport system more trouble than its worth. You really need to rent a car to see the best parts of the white isle. Here are some of the islands best beaches to visit by car.
Best beaches on the east coast of Ibiza
If you’re based in Ibiza Town or the Playa D’en Bossa area there’s plenty of great beaches just outside your resort. Start by visiting Santa Eulalia, just north of Ibiza Town. A little further north you’ll come to the nudist beach Aguas Blancas.
Best west coast beaches
If you’re staying in the ever popular holiday resorts of San Antonio or the neighbouring San Antonio Bay area you’ll no doubt have beaches a short walk from your hotel doorstep, although these are some of Ibiza’s least attractive and most over populated spots. You’re better off hiring a car and heading to the south coast of the island which is just a short 15 minute drive away. Spend the day going from beach to beach along this idyllic coastline. Start at Cala Vadella, then Cala d’Hor and the ever popular Cala Jondal. At the south east tip of Ibiza you’ll find Es Cavallet beach, another favourite with the nudists.
More things to see and do
While you’ve got your car for the day you can do lots more than just visit beaches. Why not explore some of the less tourist inhabited villages of the north of Ibiza or some of the stunning countryside in the north east. You could visit one of the great flea markets or the unique hippy market near to Es Cana each Wednesday during the summer months.
Don’t worry about driving on Ibiza
If you’re put off from taking out car rental in Ibiza by the though of driving on ‘the other side of the road’ or the thought of maneuvering through unknown towns you’ll probably be surprised how easy Ibiza’s road system is to drive and navigate around. Most rental cars are little things with automatics gearbox and you’ll have the option of satellite navigation (although you really don’t need it). Use the new motorway to cross the island very quickly. Probably the trickiest part of driving in Ibiza is parking in the often hap-hazard beach front car parks where pretty much anything goes when it comes to finding a space during busy times.
Organise your car rental in advance
In Ibiza airport car hirecompanies are generally over subscribed during the summer months. At times there’s just not enough cars on the island so book as early as possible and don’t wait until you get to the airport. All of the major global car rental brands can be found at Evissa airport, or you can rent from smaller local companies who will usually offer a cheaper rate- although you might need to be more flexible with your vehicle choice.
