Cala Nova
Cala Nova
Cala Nova is one of Ibiza’s most popular places for regular surfers. A large sickle-shaped beach with breath taking views, serene and calm far from the urban area. The stunning backdrop is unspoiled and the transparent shallow waters stretch a long way offshore on clean, fine golden sand.
Although the atmosphere is harmonious and free from disturbance, the beach is frequently visited by both locals and tourist as well as frequently subjected to strong currents and winds due to its southwesterly orientation. If you love tanning topless or nude this beach is for you.
