Aguas Blancas

Aguas Blanca’s name refers to the pale color of its water, the result of the foam produced by the waves beating against the open shore, which is exposed to the east wind. When the wind picks up, these turquoise waters froth up into a layer of white foam and vigorously lap at the shore, making it the perfect place for adventurous body surfers. When the air is still, the clear waters are perfect for snorkelling, there are two little rocks about 30 metres away from shore as well as a little cove, which are perfect for the avid explorer.

The perfectly pale waters encompass a sweeping stretch of dark golden sand, spanning 300 metres long and 15 metres wide, backed by beautiful and striking high cliffs, textured with luscious greenery. As the sun beams down and bathes the beach in a golden light, the rugged and dramatic cliffs, which accompany the powder-soft, glistening soft sand and magically sparkling waters create a true Ibizan paradise.

It may be important to note that Aguas Blancas is one of just two officially named nudist beaches on the island. Ibiza’s ‘anything goes’ attitude does not go amiss here! Some visitors often cover themselves in the red mud, made from the dirt on the cliffs mixed with the salty water, said to be beneficial for the skin. Don’t worry if nudism and clay bathing isn't for you, this community of people can be found predominantly at the north end of the beach. Down to the south end, the beach is usually busier with European travellers and young couples who come to soak up the sun.

Aguas Blancas is a beautiful and romantic setting to watch the sun rise in the early hours of the morning. As the cliffs take hostage of the sun in the early evening, large dark shadows are cast on the sands and the temperature and brightness drops dramatically. So enjoying the natural beauty and heat of Aguas Blancas between early morning and mid-afternoon is recommended.

Other facilities include loungers and parasols, a lifeguard and a parking area with a small fee at the top of the cliff. Unfortunately, the beach's rocky surroundings make it difficult to get to, which means that disability access is not provided.
