The best beaches for snorkeling in Ibiza

Chartering a boat with IbizaBoatMe is a great way to maximise your snorkelling experience. It allows you to access hidden coves and corners that are less accessible by land, meaning you can enjoy a quieter and less crowded environment.

But before we reveal which are our favourite beaches for snorkelling in Ibiza, we will tell you what makes this aquatic activity so special in the Pitiusas. Have you heard of posidonia? Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, posidonia is an underwater plant that grows in the waters of the Mediterranean and works as a kind of natural purifier, filtering the water and creating a dream setting for enjoying the sea.

More than 400 plant species and more than 1,000 animals live in the posidonia meadows, so Ibiza's underwater life is full of colour and diversity. Sea urchins, crabs, rays, groupers, octopuses, lobsters, jellyfish, moray eels, sea breams, cuttlefish, mackerels and barracudas are just some of the species you can see. With a little more luck, you might also come across a sea turtle or starfish. Also, during your boat trip around Ibiza, it's not difficult to spot dolphins just a few miles from the coast.

 

1. Cala Xarraca: This cove is known for its turquoise waters and stunning natural surroundings. Visibility is excellent, allowing you to spot a wide variety of fish and marine life. Plus, there are rocky areas where you can explore and discover little corners full of life. It's a less crowded spot, making it perfect for a quieter experience.

2. Cala Salada: This cove is famous for its scenic beauty and crystal-clear waters. The combination of golden sand and rocks makes for a spectacular landscape. When snorkelling here, you'll be able to see a great diversity of fish, as well as posidonia meadows, which are essential for the marine ecosystem. Plus, there are beach bars nearby where you can relax after your adventure.

3. Cala d'Hort: This cove not only offers stunning views of the island of Es Vedrà, but it's also a great spot for snorkelling. The waters are calm and clear, allowing for good visibility. Here you can find a variety of marine species, from colorful fish to starfish. It is a perfect place to enjoy a day of sun and sea.

4. Cala Tarida: With its varied seabed, Cala Tarida is ideal for all levels of snorkelers. The waters are generally calm, making it easy to explore. You can find interesting rock formations and a lot of marine life. Also, the sunset from this cove is spectacular, so don't forget to stay a little longer to enjoy the scenery.

5. Cala Bassa: This cove is very popular with tourists and locals alike for its easy access and crystal-clear waters. It is an ideal place for beginners, as the conditions are generally calm. Here you can see a wide variety of fish and, if you are lucky, even some sea turtles. Also, there are several bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a nice lunch after your snorkeling session.

 

 

Renting a boat not only gives you access to these wonderful places, but also allows you to enjoy the beauty of the Ibizan coast from a different perspective.
Always remember to respect the marine environment, not to touch or disturb the marine life, and to take with you everything you bring to keep these beautiful coves clean. I hope you enjoy your snorkeling adventure in Ibiza!

Booking your boat with Ibizaboatme is very easy. We require a 50% deposit to confirm the reservation, payable by bank transfer or credit card through the online payment platform. The remaining 50% of the charter, along with fuel and extras, are to be paid by credit card or cash on the same day of the charter.
It depends on each boat. Each one has its own features, which you can find in the description of the boat you are interested in. Generally, each boat includes: Skipper, drinks (Water, beer, and soft drinks), towels, cleaning, bluetooth connection, snorkeling equipment, paddleboard, and comprehensive insurance. Not included: Fuel consumption, extra drinks or special bottles, water toys, and on-board catering. Please contact us in advance for any special requirements not included.
50% refund up to 10 days prior to arrival, excluding service charges. Therefore, if you cancel less than 10 days before your charter date, you will lose the 50%, i.e., the deposit paid to confirm the boat.
In the summer months in Ibiza, it is very rare to encounter bad weather, based on current trends. However, if this happens, we will do our best to reschedule the rental day to the most convenient option for you. If this is not possible, we will refund your money.
A typical rental day lasts approximately 8 hours. We recommend boarding between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. to make the most of your charter day! You will return to the port around 7 p.m. If you wish to finish the trip earlier, that is always possible.
Absolutely! You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks on board. We kindly ask that you leave the boat clean and free of trash at the end of the day.
