Ibiza's longest sand beach at about 2.7 km, lined by beach clubs, hotels and watersports operators.
Platja d'en Bossa is the island's longest beach, about 2.7 km of fine sand running south-east from Figueretes to the Ses Salines natural park. It is the main party beach: hotels and beach clubs line the promenade, with day-club programmes and DJ events through the season, and the sea is a short walk from clubs such as Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza. The water is clean, calm and shallow near the shore, and watersports operators rent jet skis and banana boats. Families use the quieter southern stretch. In July and August the sand is crowded and loud, while in May and October it is calmer. A promenade connects hotels, restaurants and shops, and the airport lies only 4 km away.
