Cala Carbo, IBIZA

Cala Carbo is one of the smaller beaches in Ibiza – it is quiet and secluded and has the feeling of a private beach.

It’s popular with locals and expats and, since it’s off the beaten track, is not too busy.

WIND & SWELL

Cala Carbo is a small bay and is protected nearer to the beach but space is limited. In any case it offers good shelter from easterly winds which occur more in the summer, but is very open to all western winds.

ANCHORING / SEABED

The seabed consists of sand and seaweed.

MOORING BUOYS

Good moorings for private boats are available but normally for longer periods and suitable for smaller boats.

DINGHY ACCESS

Its possible to take your dinghy to the left as you approach the beach, outside the yellow swimming markers. However there is not much space at this corner of the beach so you may be asked to leave the dinghy in the water.

BEACHES

THINGS TO DO
