Torre de ses Portes (watch tower), South East Ibiza
Ancient watch tower located on the south east tip of Ibiza island
The tower is at the end of a south-pointing spit of land with two of Ibiza’s best beaches running back north on both sides, fashionable Las Salinas to the west and nudist beach Es Cavallet to the East.
Perched out on Ibiza’s most southern tip is the ancient defence tower Torre de ses Portes - a 16th century look out tower. Still standing and in remarkably sturdy condition.
The tower was located on this point to guard against approaching pirates and it’s clear to see why, the view out across the ocean is absolutely unparalleled
Directions
The tower is not accessible by car, so walk from Ses Salines or Es Cavallet beach. You can park at Ses Salines and enjoy the 20 minute trek, or rent a kayak or stand up paddle board and reach it from the shore.
