Cala Xuclar
Cala Xuclar (pronounced in eivissenc choocla) is a beach in the northern part of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja and is 3.8 miles (6.1 km)[1] north of the village of Sant Joan de Labritja, and 1.2 miles (1.9 km) west of the beach resort of Portinatx.[1]
Description
The beach of Cala Xuclar is set in a very small cove surrounded by cliffs[2] and is at the head of a seasonal river.[3] This is one of the best get-away-from-it-all beaches[2] on the island. The small bay is excellent for snorkelling[3] and you enjoy the richness of underwater fauna and flora living in its crystal waters of this cove. On both side of the cove there are several rustic fishermens' huts[4] and at the water line there are some sea caves. From the cove there are walks along the cliffs paths through the pine woods that clad the cliff tops here.[2] During July and August there is a small snack bar (chiringuito)[5] which serves visitors a selection of locally-caught fish and tapas such as Alioli potatoes.[4]
Getting There
Leave Portinatx on the C 733 road[4] and after 1.1 miles (1.8 km) watch out for the small signpost on the left[3] just after the S' Illot d'es Rencli bay.[4] From here there is a very steep rutted dirt track down to the cove. There is very limited parking space available, which will get very full at the height of the season.
