Platja des Cavallet (Es Cavallet Beach), Ibiza

Es Cavallet Beach, also known as Platja des Cavallet, is a long, open beach located in the southeast of Ibiza, within the town of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Nestled inside the protected Ses Salines Natural Park, it offers a picturesque landscape marked by its fine white sand, clear waters, and rolling dunes. With its eastward orientation, the beach enjoys moderate sea-to-land breezes, making it an ideal spot for wind and kite surfers, especially when the winds pick up.

Es Cavallet is renowned for its status as one of the pioneer nudist beaches on the island. The central section of the beach, backed by dunes, is an official nudist area, making it a popular destination for those seeking a naturist-friendly environment. While nudism is commonplace, the beach welcomes all visitors, regardless of preference. The north end of the beach, close to the car park, is a celebrity hotspot due to its proximity to upscale restaurants and a beach club, which also serve as favored wedding locations.

The southern end of Es Cavallet is known for its vibrant LGBTQ scene, centered around the iconic Chiringay beach bar and restaurant. This area is celebrated as a daytime meeting point for the island's LGBTQ community, where a laid-back, inclusive atmosphere prevails. Despite the beach's wild and natural feel, summer months bring a lively party vibe with club music, cocktails, and a relaxed, social ambiance that stretches throughout the day.

Visitors can also explore the surrounding trails that wind through the pine forests and typical island vegetation. The southern tip of the beach features rocks with natural pools and the Torre de ses Portes, offering stunning views over to Ibiza Town and Formentera on clear days. The proximity of Es Cavallet to the salt flats also provides opportunities for spotting waterfowl and other wildlife.
