Playa de Talamanca

Talamanca is the sheltered bay immediately north-east of Ibiza town's harbour, in the municipality of Eivissa, with views back across the water to the old walled town of Dalt Vila. The beach is a curve of golden sand of nearly 1 km, with calm, shallow water, and is backed by hotels, apartments, restaurants and beach clubs. It is well serviced, with lifeguards, showers, toilets, sunbed and parasol rental and wheelchair access, and it gets very crowded in high season. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists Talamanca as a beach of nudist tradition, and a Spanish naturist guide describes it as one of the old nude spots of the Balearics. No current source describes a defined nude section, and with hotels and families along the whole bay, nude bathers are likely to be few and to keep to the rocky edges of the beach rather than the central stretch. Expect a lively, urban atmosphere rather than a naturist one. Note: the Spanish Naturist Federation is the only source we found that reports nude bathing here, and other guides do not mention it. Nude use may be occasional or limited to the quieter end, so expect most visitors to be clothed and check on arrival.
