Description
In between the airport and Cala Jondal, this beach is found by following the road from the airport towards San José. After 1 kilometer there is a left turning signposted Cala Jondal, follow this road for about 4 kilometers to the signposted left turning. The beach is apparently called 'Playa Es Bol Nou', but the only signposts refer to it as 'Sa Caleta' which is actually the name of the beach restaurant. The beach is a natural stretch of fine sand about 100 metres long sloping gently down to the shallow sea which makes it particularly popular with the locals. Those with young children choose it as it is well protected from the wind by cliffs which wrap around both sides to meet the horizon and is shallow enough for the kids to swim safely. The restaurant 'Sa Caleta' specialises in fish - of the 73 dishes on offer, almost a dozen do not include fish! It is open all year round for lunch till 5 pm and busy with locals. In the peak of summer it remains open till midnight for dinner, but it is best to book first - Tel 971 187 095

Text from picture 9:

The Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, with research and archaeological digs conducted under the auspices of the Consell Insular D'Evissa i Formentera (Eivissa and Formentera Island Councell) between 1980 and 1990, covered the whole of the peninsula and formerly had a surface area of around 4 hectares.
It was founded by Phoenicians from the far west of the Mediterranean at the end of the 8th century B.C. in their search for new economic resources.At the beginning of the 6th century B.C. the site was abandoned because the Phoenicians moved to Eivissa bay, where they founded the city. Sa Caleta has been a Cultural Heritage site since 1993 and in 1999 it was declared a world heritage site.
