Las Salinas
(the salt flats) is known also as Playa de Miljorn. Getting there, the drive takes
you past an interesting landscape of salt beds where little wagons heap salt into
glistening hillocks. The very long, wide crescent of sandy beach is bordered by
pines. Waters are crystal clear with super breakers for wind-surfing. Good for
adventure walks as the surrounding terrain is Ibiza's Wildlife Conservation Area.
Bus or car on a good road.
Bordering an inland conservation area Las
Salinas Beach in Ibiza is the most Southern Beach on the island and is named after
the many salt beds that still dot the area.
Named after the salt lakes
in the south of Ibiza, the beach at Las Salinas is the southern most tip of the
island. The very long, wide crescent of sandy beach is bordered by pines. Waters
are crystal clear with super breakers that appear on windy days, perfect for body-surfing.
Good for adventure walks as the surrounding terrain is Ibiza's Wildlife Conservation
Area.
During the summer months, Las Salinas is the 'in' beach not only
for the wealthy and the beautiful people, but also for the party scene. The bikini
fashions tend to reveal more than they cover-up, and the sun-worshippers here
are more than a match for the Baywatch beauties!

The rather exclusive bars play summer music throughout
the day, and will serve you cocktails right to your sun bed, and the atmosphere
and the beautiful beach more than make up for the generous prices. Towards the
end of the bay, nudists, families, hippies and party kings and queens dance and
chill-out to the groovy sounds all day long. Pure summer feeling....
Activities: Pedaloes, catameran rent, music bars
Size: 1.5 kilometres

the traffic!), or bus from Ibiza Town (10 km) or Playa d'en Bossa (6 km).
Spain Beaches Facts and Safety TIps
Geography
The island
Ibiza has a surface area of only 572 km². This means that the greatest distance
to be covered by road is 40 km; which in turn means that all of these beautiful
beaches are within an hour's comfortable drive, wherever you are staying.
Accessibility
The easiest way to explore the coastline and beaches
is with a rental car, although, many of the beaches can be reached by regular
bus services, and / or local ferry services from the major resorts. (The ferries
are a favourite of ours!)
Safety
Although many of the beaches
will rent sunshades and parasols, you are best advised to take your own. The sun
is very hot here in summer, and we can't stress enough the importance of shade
for young children, babies and the fair-haired. Never leave bags unattended!
Most of the beaches boast soft, sandy floors. Perfect for splashing around
near the shore. Do be careful before rushing and plunging headlong into the water
- there are beaches with stones and underwater rocks. Look before you leap!
Water Temperatures
May 18.5ºC June 21.5ºC July, August
and September 26ºC October 24.5ºC Refreshments Almost all of the beaches
have bars or restaurants. So do take a few Euros with you. We have selected some
of the best ones for you.
