Ibiza Beaches I Love… Sa Caleta
This week I’m in sunny Sa Caleta, home to soft sands, turquoise sea and some very special spots for great photography. Read on to find out why!
Where:
A cove on the south west seaboard in the municipality of Sant Josep. 6.8 miles (10.9 km) to the west of Ibiza town. The village of Sant Josep is 5.7 miles (9.2 km) east of the cove.
Why:
Sa Caleta is one of those Ibiza beaches that includes my favourite elements of photography… beautiful backdrops and lots of options!
The main beach itself sports an earthy sand hued cliff face. This makes for amazing and colourful photography, as the deep orange clashes with the perfect blue skies. One of Ibiza’s finest fish restaurants can also be found here, but more about that at the end!
Sa Caleta is not all about beaches however. My personal favourite area and the gem of this network of small coves and cliffs are the fishermans huts set off to one side. They’re reached via a short walk around the back of the beach, or over the cliff top itself. The latter option being the most satisfying as you get to wander past ancient Phoenician settlements, through woodland and on to stunning vistas.
Possibilities are endless here. The clear sea meets a series of boat launches, clustered together under shady wicker and wood coverings. These in turn lead on to brightly coloured entrances to each boat hut, which are a joy to photograph. Finally we find ourselves up amongst some small driftwood covered huts with tiny balcony areas overlooking the sea. These spaces seem to have been created especially with a small wedding ceremony in mind! And remember that fabulous fish restaurant I mentioned at the beginning? Well it just so happens that would make the perfect after ceremony spot for an amazing meal or sunset cocktails, or both!
For me this is a stunning, authentic part of the island that includes tons of perfect areas in which to capture the true nature of Ibiza. I love it and I’m sure you will too!
