i spent nearly every single day on the beach, took a nap in the evenings, dinner late then clubbing. if you truly want to see beautiful beaches, you need to rent a car, which you can do for about 30 Euros/day. you also need to buy a good map that tells you where there are beaches you can go to. you can get these at any convenience store on the island. hint: dont even go to any beaches in or in the near vicinity of san antonio..

GO HERE: http://www.ibiza4all.org/beaches/ibiza/map_sanjoseph2.gif
(i would post the pic but the names of the beaches are black so they are camouflaged with the black TA background

cala d'albarca is my FAVE, north of the island (all boulders, you have to walk 45 minutes down a rock path on the side of a cliff to reach the beach.. WORTH IT!!!)
cala san vicente
la salinas
sa caleta
cala vadella
cala d'hort

^ just some of the places we went. each beach is so different (some are sand, others pebbles, other boulders) some have shops, some are secluded, some are nude, some are topless, some have lounge chairs, some have jelly fish, etc etc.

happy trails!!

One more thing, it may be a good idea to take a few nights off. you will be way too tired with that schedule.

I'm skipping the Prydz/Lawler show because Pacha in Ibiza blows... going to Amnesia to see Chris Lake/Angello with PVD... Lake is on FIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE. Amnesia is super sick as well...

Originally posted by jerZ07002 totally agree, you need to get mobile, its the best part of the entire vaca. you're a trooper if you can keep that schedule. there was no way i could get on the beaches after getting in at 9am. although sleeping on the beach is probably better than sleeping on any bed on that island. (the hotels blow, unless you're willing to pay out the ass). 30 euro a day is definitely on the low end. it was more like 50 a day if they even had a car. all the places were booked. renting a scooter is pretty cool. give it a shot.

our car was sweet, i have to say. brand new Peugeot 5 seater. we rented it from a local place in san an, not from the airport, so maybe that's why it was cheap.

I LOVE the weather in September! Not too hot and nice cool nights. God I can't wait to get back! I agree that Bora Bora is always worth it. I'm staying at JET, though, so I am biased. lol

When will you be there in September? I am there 9/19-10/2.

BTW, you need to watch the SUNRISE from Bora Bora. In my opinion it is more beautiful than the Sunset @ Mambo

review's almost done....
