description Cala Nova Overview
Cala Nova is a wide beach and inlet situated on the eastern coast of Ibiza, Spain, within the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu. The cove is framed by low-lying pine-covered cliffs and features a deep stretch of pale sand. Unlike many of Ibiza's highly sheltered coves, Cala Nova has a more open exposure to the Mediterranean Sea, which frequently results in stronger winds and larger waves. This exposure makes the beach a recognized location for surfing during the autumn and winter months.
