Cala Xarraka

Cala Xarraca is a small beach cove near Sant Joan de Labritja on Ibiza’s north coast. Most visitors arrive by private vehicle or taxi because public transport service is limited. The final approach involves a short walk to the shore, using the public coastal approach. Visitors should check local signs on arrival for seasonal restrictions or access rules, including dog rules that may vary by season and local regulation. Parking is in a small area near the cove. Earlier arrival is practical in summer when space fills and the shoreline becomes busier. The main beach season generally runs from June into September, with conditions changing by month and weather.
