Port de Sant Miquel is a 110-metre family beach in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja, in the north of the island. This cove, sheltered by green cliffs, has golden sand and crystal-clear, shallow turquoise water, ideal for families.
In short: a large, well-sheltered bay, ideal for families. The beach has fine sand and is surrounded by hotels and restaurants. The water is calm and shallow. There is a wide range of water sports, as well as showers and sunbeds. Despite the tourist presence, the bay remains pleasant. It is a very practical beach for a day with children, thanks to all the services nearby.
A sheltered cove between cliffs and pine woods
Port de Sant Miquel stands out for its medium-grain golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise water.
This beach, 110 metres long and 70 metres wide, is framed by pine-covered cliffs, creating an unspoilt natural setting. The seabed mixes sand, rocks and seagrass, perfect for snorkelling.
Opposite the beach, the islet of Illa des Bosc adds a picturesque touch. The resort has every facility you need: sunbeds, parasols, showers, toilets and a lifeguard post.
Several restaurants line the beach, including the renowned Port Balansat, where you can try the local bullit de peix, and Can Tothom for authentic Mediterranean food.
There are plenty of water sports: waterskiing, paddleboarding, kayaking and diving.
I recommend this spot for its family atmosphere and full services, away from the bustle of the big resorts.

Access and parking at Port de Sant Miquel
From Ibiza Town, Port de Sant Miquel is about 20 minutes by car via the PM-804. A large free car park is right next to the beach. A regular bus links the capital with Port de Sant Miquel, with departures every 2 hours and a journey of about 30 minutes.
The beach is reached by a surfaced ramp, making it easier for people with reduced mobility. I recommend arriving early in high season to make the most of the parking and the space on the sand.
Discovering the Can Marçà cave
From Port de Sant Miquel, the view takes in the Illa des Bosc and the wooded cliffs framing the bay. A coastal path starts from the left side of the beach and leads to Caló des Moltons, an unspoilt natural cove. Walkers will enjoy these waymarked paths with views over the crystal-clear blue water.
Right nearby, the unmissable Cova de Can Marçà is well worth a visit: this show cave tells the story of the smugglers who once used it. Visit the cave at Port de Sant Miquel and dive into more than 100,000 years of natural history. Discover how smugglers used this cavity to hide their goods, leaving marks still visible at the entrance and exit today. Admire the spectacular rock formations sculpted by time, with stalactites and stalagmites shaped by the water that once ran through the now-dry cave.
