Ibiza is known worldwide for its wonderful beaches. In addition to having spectacular locations to photograph or simply to enjoy the quality of the sea and the coves, the island also has great sandy beaches which are perfect to have an unforgettable day with the littlest ones of the family.
The requirements that these beaches have to meet are: to be shallow, so that children can swim safely; shade, so that when they get out of the water they can be protected from the sun; sandy, so that they can walk easily without hurting their feet or slipping on dangerous wet rocks; and to a lifeguard service, since, although you should never lose sight of the little ones, a lifeguard presence is essential. It will also make life easier for families if access to the bathing area is easy, with parking nearby.
