Thousands of tourists descend on the island in summer, greatly taxing the island's limited water supply. Ciudad de Ibiza boasts Playa Talamanca in the north and Ses Figueretes and Playa d'en Bossa in the south, two outstanding white sandy beaches. Las Salinas, in the south, near the old salt flats, offers excellent sands. The long sandy cove of Cala Llonga, south of Santa Eulalia del Rio, and the white sandy beach of El Cana to the north, are sacred to Ibiza's sun worshipers. Set against a backdrop of pines and dunes, the pure white sand of Es Pujols is the most popular of Ibiza's beaches and deservedly so.
Many travelers still arrive dreaming of soft drugs and hard sex.
Both exist in great abundance, but there are dangers. Formentera is the most southern of the Balearic Islands, and because of limited accommodations, restaurants, and nightlife, it is most often visited on a day trip from Ibiza. The same language is spoken on Formentera.
