Santa Eulalia River Walk
A gentle short walk on quiet & well maintained paths
This is actually the only natural river on the island so it is lovely that they have paved this way so you can enjoy it. With information boards along the way you can learn about your surroundings.
The area has been well landscaped and paved so that you can enjoy a circular walk along the river from the waterfront in Santa Eulalia inland towards the Puig de Missa and then returning to the beach area and promenade in Santa Eulalia. This is a great short walk to discover a different side the usual beach resort and blue waters that you would expect in Ibiza.
Watch out for
There are over 150 species of birds that call this stretch of river home. You are guaranteed to see plenty of ducks but make sure you keep your eyes peeled for some of the more unusual residents, such as kingfishers.
Who should go
This walk is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. As it has been well paved it is also suitable for wheelchair users, prams and push buggies.
What to bring
It may not be a long walk but in the heat of summer you will need some water and sun cream! There are not any amenities along the way so make sure you pack these essentials in your bag.
What to see
The path takes you past several points of interest including a small waterfall, a water mill and the Puig de Missa. There are information boards to explain the various things along the route. Whilst you walk over the bridge at the beginning you may notice that there are padlocks attached to it... This is a Spanish custom where couples place their padlock on the bridge and then throw the key into the water, symbolising their relationship!
Where to lunch
Probably best to save lunch until the end of your walk when you can select somewhere along the promenade in Santa Eulalia or one of the beach clubs perhaps?
Directions
Following the promenade south along the beach you will find your way to the river. The signs and pathways are obvious from here and you will no doubt see people happily meandering along in front of you.
