Playa des Codolar, Ibiza Beaches, Spain
The Playa des Codolar is almost a mile long and consists of small pebbles, but these are not impossible to sunbathe upon. The sea has a curiously milky quality with a view to Formentera and a fine selection of waves. At the Eastern end are the impressive cliffs of Cap d'es Falco and the end of the airport runway, making it an idyllic spot for plane spotters. At the other end are a collection of picturesque fishermens huts. The part on the right hand of the beach Playa El Codolar shelters an extraordinarily rich water world. Small animals romp around and numerous algae have settled down there. This little world can best be observed before the stream of tourists overcrowds the beach or in the evening. A special event is also the moment when one or the other fishing boat, les barques, leave the old harbour in the late afternoon or the early evening and disappear slowly in the blue colour of the Mediterranean Sea. There's also a bar where you can rent beach chairs, parasols and kayaks in summer. You'll find also showers at the beach.
