Why go?
Named after the salt lakes in the south of Ibiza, this mile-long crescent of sand on the southernmost tip of the island is bordered by a small pine forest. With music blaring from the party bars, it’s here that you will find the most ostentatious clientele on the island.
Who goes?
Sometimes it can end up as a who’s who on the world party scene. Anything goes here but the more beautiful and glamorous set (Jade Jagger and Kate Moss) gather down at the Sa Trinxa Beach Bar (see below), where Jon Sa Trinxa, an island institution, plays his unique Balearic beats well into the night.
What is there to do?
Water sports are available, including catamarans. With big breakers here on windy days, you can sometimes enjoy a good body-surf. Hiking paths wind through the conservation area behind.
Bars and bites
The Jockey Club (971 395788). Farther down the beach from the Sa Trinxa Bar, this informal restaurant has a pleasant elevated view of the sea and an extensive menu. Something a little different for the bold is the ostrich fillet. The legendary Sa Trinxa Beach Bar (670 368019,www.satrinxa.com) is the place for a liquid lunch or supper. Despite its relaxed hippy feel, it always provides an electric warm-up for a night on the town.
Getting there
There are plenty of buses from Ibiza Town. In a car, follow signs to the airport and then, at the roundabout by the Hippodrome, take the second turning to Salinas and follow the signs.
