Es Torrent is a cove in San José, municipality, in the middle of the beautiful green nature that identifies Ibiza and the area Es Cubells. Even though the proportions are small, 75 meters in length and has a very small strip of sand, in Es torrent you will find peace, serene time and spiritual calmness. This beach is made up of pebbles into and out of the sea. That is the reason why locals and tourists don’t usually fantasize being here. But the good thing about this beach is, there is a wooden walkway to the water. An untamed beach and one of a kind. Although, it might not be as beautiful as the other beaches in the island, Es Torrent has something wonderful to offer too, like its peaceful surroundings, translucent clear depthless water which is perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
