Location of Cala Pada on Ibiza

Cala Pada is a beach on the south east seaboard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu ^[1] and is 2.7 miles (4.3 km)^[2] east of the town of Santa Eulària des Riu, and 1.9 miles (3.1 km) south west of the beach resort of Es Canar.^[2]

Description

Cala Pada beach is a broad sandy stretch of beach backed by a wood of pine and juniper trees.^[3] The offshore reefs protect the bay from the sea, making it popular with the island's windsurfers when the south wind blows.^[3] From the beach there are views to several small offshore islands including Illa de Santa Eulària, Illa Rodona and En Caragoler.

Illa Rodona

On 17 January 1913.^[4] a steamship called the SS Mallorca ran aground on a reef around Illa Rodona. The crew and passengers were rescued from the ship by the local fishermen of Santa Eulària des Riu. There is a stone memorial to commemorate the rescue in front of the Ajuntament (town hall) in the plaçe d’ Espanya, Santa Eulària des Riu.
