Photo spot in Ibiza

Cala Comte at sunset

A west-coast cove looking out at small offshore islets — one of the most reliable dramatic sunsets in Spain.

About Cala Comte at sunset

Low rust-coloured rock terraces stepping down into very clear water, with small islands offshore. The whole cove faces west, which is the entire point: the sun goes down into the sea directly in front of you, behind the islets.

Unlike most sunset locations this one works from the rock as well as from the sand, so a session is not fighting for space on a beach. The terraces give you levels to stand on and foreground texture that a flat beach cannot.

It is the best-known sunset on the island, so in July and August it is busy and the parking fills early. May and October give you the identical light with a fraction of the people.

Best time to shoot

The hour before sunset, arriving well ahead of it

Tips

Parking fills long before sunset in season — arrive early or expect a walk. The rock terraces are uneven and slippery when wet; not the place for thin heels.
