The
beach
The beach in Figueretas is well-kept and in the middle of the city. It is split into smaller areas by rocky piers. The water is shallow and mostly protected from waves, so it's a great place for kids to play and swim.
A beautiful promenade lined with palm trees was completely redone a few years ago, and it goes all the way around the bay. There are many nice restaurants where you can take a break and enjoy the view of the sea.
During the summer, both tourists and people who live in the area go to the beach. Figueretas is both a place where people live and a place where people go on vacation. The beach and promenade are popular in the winter, and some restaurants are open all year.
Small ferries go to Ibiza Town and Playa d'en Bossa from the jetty in front of the Mar y Playa hotel. There are also many boat trips that leave from here, including ones to Formentera.
In the evening, people walk along the promenade, and small stands set up to sell jewelry and other items. Diners enjoy their meals on the terraces outside while watching people walk by.
It only takes 15 minutes to walk to the center of Ibiza Town, and from the southern end, you can see the old walled city of Dalt Vila. In the south, Figueretas runs into Playa d'en Bossa, which is a popular place to go clubbing.
