Carretera de Cala Gració, 07820 Sant Antoni de Portmany, Illes Balears, Spain
Cala Gracio is a small sandy cove 2 km north of San Antonio that gives budget travellers in Ibiza something the resort beaches rarely do: calm, clear water in a sheltered setting without the beach club minimum spend. The cove is about 100 metres wide, sandy-bottomed, and faces southwest - meaning it catches afternoon sun and stays sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds that roughen the main San Antonio bay. A modest beach bar operates in season with drinks at pub prices rather than beach club prices.
Cap Blanc Aquarium (Cala Gracio, 07820) occupies a natural sea cave directly at the cove and charges around 5-8 EUR entry - a genuinely unusual attraction where local fish species (grouper, moray eels, octopus) are kept in natural rock pools. The aquarium and the beach together make a complete half-day for very little spend.
Pro Tip: Walk the coast path north from Cala Gracio to Cala Gracioneta (5 minutes) for an even smaller cove that is noticeably quieter and has the same water quality. Bring your own food from the Spar in San Antonio (open until 10 PM) - there is no obligation to buy from the beach bar and the sand is entirely public.
