Looking for accessible beaches? San Antonio is the best area for pushchairs and wheelchairs. If *** want to stay on the beach into the evening too, Punta Galera is the place ** watch one of the most beautiful sunsets on *** island.

Secondly, what to do in Santa Eulalia Ibiza 

In the eastern **** of the ****** is *** municipality of Santa Eulalia, one of the towns with *** ******* population in Ibiza. **** area, ** recent years, has *********** great growth that is unrelated to *** concept of nightlife and clubs. Here, you can stay in hotels that will provide you with quiet relaxation. ***** Eulalia has endless beaches ***** its coastline, where you’ll find true paradises with ******* clear waters, and multiple near-virgin ***** to relax in.

For a more cultural day, visit the church ** Santa Eulalia, on Mount **** de Missa. It is ** **** a fortified ****** in the upper area of the town and very unusual in its architecture. Being right in the middle of a Mediterranean Sea, Ibiza has witnessed piracy and ******* for centuries! *** this reason, many towns ***** away from the coast to ** less exposed and sought a way ** be more protected, ********* this fortified church.

In summary, what you can do in Santa Eulalia, Ibiza is rest, relax, and explore to your heart’s content.

Next, what to ** in *** José Ibiza

The program of activities to do in *** José is endless. A visit to the defensive ****** is probably as one of the **** options to ***** with: **** can be found along the coast and are called Torre des Savinar or *** Pirata, Torre de sa Sal Rossa or des Carregador in Playa d'en Bossa and Torre d'en Rovira, which is in Cala Conta.

Before you leave the town centre, take a **** to D'en Bossa beach: an Ibiza beach icon, where you can enjoy the casual atmosphere that trumps (in our opinion) the clubbing scene by far.

Last, but not least, **** ** ** in *** north ** Ibiza

Spectacular sites await you in *** north of the island. It is one of the quietest areas ** Ibiza *** ******* home to the purest ****** ** Ibizan culture.
