You’ll find everything you need to discover, explore, and enjoy the very essence of San Antonio in our regular blog posts. Get ready to enjoy this month’s guide as we reveal the top beaches in San Antonio!

THE MAIN BEACH STRIP IN SAN ANTONIO, IBIZA

S’Arenal is a long, wide beach of fine, white sand opposite the busy promenade. Due to its easy access and central location, this beach is always a top choice, but never too overcrowded. Shallow, safe waters make it a great place for young children. However, it must be noted that this strip, especially in the height of summer, is largely consumed with young adults often spilling out from the many bars directly in front. So, if you’re with young children it may be best to consider San Antonio Bay with its several smaller sandy beaches.

San Antonio Bay is home to four incredibly popular beaches and numerous small coves, all awaiting exploration. The good news is, the main town of San Antonio is easy to get to on foot via the promenade and pathways that connect the beaches and coastline. There are also plenty of buses, taxis, and regular water taxis operating between the two resorts – so if convenience is at the top of beach day list, San Antonio Bay may be the perfect spot for you! Here you will find:

If you walk along the small headland from Es Pouet, you will find S’Estanyol beach. Fronting the Hotel S’Estanyol is a thin strip of sand. This small beach offers sunbeds, parasols, watersports and easy access to many local bars and restaurants. From here, you can catch ferries to the neighbouring beaches.

The next beach round the bay is Playa Pinet, which has soft sand, shallow waters, and many water sports to choose from. This stretch of golden sand and gently sloping waters make for a popular family beach. Also known as ‘Reggae Reggae’ beach due to the popular beach shack restaurant that resides here.

Situated in front of the Hotel Playa Bella and Hotel Amare is Playa Xinxo, a beautiful sandy beach that faces inland providing gentle and calm waters. Surrounded by amenities and great transport links, this beach is also amazing for those who require disability and easy access.
