Es Cana is a relatively small town on the east coast of Ibiza. The nearest large town is Santa Eularia, which is just south of Es Cana, but Sant Carles is only a few kilometres away to the north.

The town is pleasant and still retains some of its rustic charm, with small fishing boats in the marina and a rugged coastline stretching out into the north. The beach has been awarded Blue Flag status, and is wide, sandy, and shaded by pines. What attracts many visitors is the fact that Es Cana is still relatively peaceful and ideal for families.

Es Cana is in an ideal location for exploring some of Ibiza's most unique beaches. To the north there is Cala Nova, where the seas can be turbulent and good for watersports, and which tends to be uncrowded. The small, sandy cove of Cala Llenya is just a little way further on from Cala Nova, and is well worth a visit.

To the south, things start to get a little more crowded, whether on the beaches of Santa Eularia itself, or the almost completely English resort of Cala Llonga that lies just beyond. Essentially, visiting Es Cana is a great excuse to discover the overlooked and very beautiful north-east of Ibiza - and hiring a car is definitely recommended.
