More than the party island
Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, and for many British visitors it means San Antonio and its sunsets. The webcams show the other side too: the quiet family resort of Santa Eulalia on the east coast, the seafront of Ibiza Town below its walled old quarter, a World Heritage Site since 1999, and the clear water around the islets of Cala Comte, in the far west.
Formentera, a short ferry ride away
Formentera, the smallest and most southerly of the Pityusic Islands, lies about 4 miles (6 km) south of Ibiza and has no airport: ferries from Ibiza Town reach it in about half an hour. Long and flat, it is ringed by pale sand and water kept clear by the Posidonia meadows of the same World Heritage Site. Its camera stands on the road up to La Mola and looks along the whole island, with Ibiza on the horizon.
West for sunsets, east for sunrises
The island's two coasts behave differently, and so do its cameras. San Antonio and Cala Comte face west, so their best hour is the one before sunset, when the sky behind the islets turns orange. Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia face east and south-east, catching the morning sun, and are the ones to check early for a calm sea. The Formentera view faces north-west and is at its best in the afternoon. In summer a breeze usually picks up after midday, ruffling the bays.
Who runs the cameras
The live views of Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia come from IB-Red, a Balearic telecoms company with a network of cameras across the islands. In San Antonio, a hotel in the town centre streams its own rooftop view on YouTube. Cala Comte and Formentera are watched by cameras on high ground, shown as a time-lapse of the day.
When to watch Ibiza and Formentera
Both islands are one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland all year round: when the clocks change at home, they change here on the same weekend. The sea is warmest in August, at around 25 °C, and winters are mild, which makes the cameras worth a look all year round.
