The south end, around the Chiringay beach bar. The further you walk from the car park, the more the crowd is ours.
Crowd A nude beach the boys have made their own: a gay-majority crowd, a beach bar that knows it, and friends you have not met yet.
Getting there
Ten minutes by taxi from Ibiza Town, or the bus to Ses Salines and a fifteen-minute walk across the headland. Parking fills by noon in August.
The rules
Official nude beach. Designated by law or by the council. Nudity is allowed and expected on the marked stretch, and nobody will ask you to cover up.
