Sant Carles area is crammed with almond, fig and carob trees and scattered with beautiful casas payesas (traditional houses). It is small, but it has little cosy bars and restaurants (such as ca n'Aneta, where you can taste a traditional Eivissan spirit made of herbs). The town is dominated by a whitewashed church dated back to 1785, which a rectangular floor and a peculiar belfry that has been moved to the left. There are also a small garden with a traditional well and the remains of a Roman oil mill.
Sant Carles has an intense cultural activity since the 1950s, when many intellectuals chose it as their place of residence. Every Saturday during the summer and part of the low season, locals and visitors can enjoy Las Dalias little market on the outskirts of the village. This market is one of the most traditional and popular places in this area. You can find traditional clothes and white shirts in its stalls, as well as casual clothes, handicrafts, fashion jewellery and objects from all over the world or inspired in the hippie movement.
There are several lovely beaches in the surroundings, such as Cala Llenya, Cala Mastella and Cala Nova.
