Platja des Cavallet is the southern continuation of the Ses Salines beach, a long arc of fine sand backed by dunes and pine woods, and it is Ibiza's best known naturist beach, though clothing is optional rather than compulsory. The water is clear and shallow with a gentle slope. The north end has paid parking and sunbeds, the south end is reached on foot by a track of about 20 minutes from the Ses Salines beach car park, and a bar at the south end has been reported closed since March 2026 over licensing, so bring water and snacks. The beach is part of a protected natural park, so visitors are asked not to walk on the dunes or leave rubbish.
