Eclipse
2026

Where is the best place to watch the eclipse from Ibiza and Formentera? No map could answer.

Ibiza and Formentera  ·  12 August 2026

01

An eclipse map, for everyone.

Eclipse maps cover the world. This one covers only Ibiza and Formentera, and answers only one question: from this geographic point, will you see totality? An event site, free, with no account and no advertising. It is built on open public data and an open-source mapping library.

On 12 August 2026, at the moment of totality, the sun stands 3 degrees above the sea. At that height, a ridge two kilometres away is enough to ruin a beach that looks clear on paper.

The sky at the moment of totality, seen from the beach.

Terrain measured every 25 metres, not drawn.

What is on screen is not an illustration. The shadow crossing the archipelago, the lit terrain, the map itself: all of it is computed, and cross-checked against the official tables, which are freely available.

The tool's main screen: Ibiza in relief, places with their totality duration, the panel for the analysed point on the right.
The main screen: totality duration for each place, the analysed point on the right
The north coast of Ibiza covered in blue, orange and red zones depending on whether the terrain hides the sun.
Visibility computed over the terrain, eye at 1.6 m: clear, doubtful, not advised
The panel for one place: totality duration, margin over the horizon, eclipse times.
One place: totality duration, margin over the horizon, times to the second
The horizon profile with the sun's path minute by minute, then the ranking of places.
