Ibiza is famous all over the world for its beautiful beaches. Apart from having spectacular places to take pictures or simply to enjoy the quality of the sea and coves. The island also has large sand beaches where you can go with the youngest members of the family and spend an unforgettable day.
The requirements that these beaches must meet are a couple: they must be shallow, in order for children to swim safely. They need shade, so when they come out of the water, they can take shelter from the sun. They also need sand, so they can walk calmly, without injuring their feet or slipping on wet rocks. Finally, they must have a lifeguard service, because even though you should never lose sight of the little ones, their presence is essential. It will also help families if access to the swimming area is easy, with parking nearby.
