La Cala nova It is a medium-sized beach, next to the Es Canar Ibiza area. It is packed with all the services that a beach can, or should, offer. They have hammocks, showers, lifeguards, umbrellas and everything well equipped for the disabled.
It is undoubtedly one of the best beaches and coves in Ibiza. The cove is 260 meters of sand long and 25 meters wide. This cove is very sandy, there are hardly any stones. It is a wide and curved beach that allows enough space between those who want to enjoy it. We are talking about shallow water and sand so clean it has earned a blue flag.
La cove Nova Ibiza It is a beach with crystalline waters located 3.7km from San Carlos and 7.3km from Santa Eulalia, with a great marine flora and fauna. In addition, when there is wind, the sea meets the perfect requirements to be able to surf. Yes friends, surfing can also be practiced in the Balearic Islands. This cove is one of the few beaches of Ibiza in which it is possible to surf due to the waves of the sea. In fact, the largest number of visitors to the cove are surfers. Something that clashes with the usual tourism in Ibiza. Another attraction of the Cala Nova They are your sunsets. Which leave wonderful landscapes that are worth visiting.
The surroundings of the cove are simply great because we are talking about small mountains in a totally natural state. A Mediterranean pine forest that invites you to practice long hours of walks. With breaks to eat something or take a good bath in the creek. Even if we hit a bad weather day, we can still enjoy the views of the cove. Well, the waves collide with the rocks creating an image difficult to forget.
If you continue walking along the coast, you will end up in other beaches and coves such as Cala Llenya or Es Canar beach. Definitely, Cala Nova Ibiza It is a cove that provides us with everything we need to enjoy an Ibizan cove in its purest form. They have the usual leisure activities, even the newest in a fantastic and totally natural environment.
Activities to do on the beach
In this cove we can enjoy various types of services and activities on its beaches as we show you below.
Train that runs through the Es Canar area
The north of the island of Ibiza offers us an image that is difficult to forget and that is so picturesque that it is worth visiting. We can get a ticket for this peculiar train, called Ibiza Express.

Es Canar "PJ´s Arty Party"
Something new and that we can enjoy very recently. We are talking about a very different activity from the ones we are already used to. From the title you will think that we are talking about a party with DJs and others but nothing is further from the truth.
We are talking about a party for the whole family. In Es Canar, next to Cala Nova Ibiza, we will find this studio where people of all ages meet. To have a good laugh and get good memories.
You can decorate and create your own gifts or souvenirs. You will have to create everything with the tools that are provided to you and then buy them. There is nothing more special than returning from a trip with a souvenir created by you. Not with the typical Pacha Ibiza shirt. What we do need to know is that for the whole process to be created. You have to wait 48 hours so don't wait until the last day to do it.
As you can see, we have two activities that are quite different from the usual and very playful and fun in this cove. Also, you can always go hiking and diving.
Cala Nova how to get there
By bus
To get to Cala Nova I recommend going first to Es Canar, as it is easier to access with public transport. Then from there, we can reach Cala Nova both on foot and by bike in a few minutes.
From Santa Eulalia there is a direct bus to Es Canar, the line L18A. The cost per journey is € 1,55 per person.
From San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) there is no direct bus. So we will have to go to Santa Eulalia with the L19 and from there take the L18A to get to Es Canar.
