Cala Carbó, a charming little corner of southern Ibiza
Cala Carbó is a beautiful little cove in the southern part of the island of Ibiza, and it has all the attractions typical of Mediterranean coastal resorts. A rather inconspicuous and winding road leads to the beach, following the course of the stream that gives the place its name. The waters roll into the half-moon shaped strand through two small rocky inlets, onto a sandy shore with a strip of shingle. Easy and accessible parking is available at the beach entrance.

Entrance to this little half-moon shaped beach is tucked away not far from Es Vedrà.

Its steep sided rocky promontories ensure that the waters are normally sheltered from the wind.
