From Palma, it's about a 40-minute drive through scenic countryside. There is a designated parking area near the beach, but it can get crowded during peak times, so arriving early is advisable. From the parking area, a short walk down a series of steps takes you to the beach itself.
The beach is located at the end of a narrow inlet, flanked by high cliffs covered with pine trees and lush vegetation. The turquoise waters are crystal clear, making it an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling. The fine, golden sand is perfect for lounging, and the shallow waters make it a safe place for families with children.
The beach is relatively small and intimate, which adds to its charm. Despite its size, it never felt overcrowded, even during the busy summer months. There are a few amenities, including a beach bar that offers refreshments and light snacks, as well as sun loungers and umbrellas available for rent. However, the facilities are limited, so it’s a good idea to bring your own supplies, such as water, snacks, and sun protection.
One of the highlights is the small, picturesque cove and the opportunity to explore the surrounding cliffs. There are a few hiking trails that offer stunning views of the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea. These trails are relatively easy, making them suitable for most fitness levels.
If you're looking for a bit of history, the nearby Torre de Cala Pi, an old watchtower, provides an interesting diversion. It’s a short hike from the beach and offers panoramic views...
Read moreWarning: Hazardous Marine Life. As a Google guide, I believe that it is essential to advise visitors of safety situations. The Lifeguard was doing rounds and had the Jellyfish flag up, yet there was no warning on the beach poster. Most beachgoers I spoke to did not know what that was about. So, unaware of the danger. At the time of this review, on 29Aug23 swarms of a small species of hazardous jellyfish were spotted everywhere over the shore and seaside. In a 5 min, I spotted 8 just on the seashore. Pink jellyfish (Pelagia Noctiluca) I got stung at this place 3 times throughout 20 years of coming here whilst snorkelling and wearing a short wet suit. Yesterday, after speaking to the lifeguard, I decided not to go in the water due to the vast amounts of these everywhere. These tiny marine creatures' stings are excruciating, and I still carry scars left by its tentacles. I always have a bicarbonate spray with vinegar in my snorkelling kit. Sting level: painful and dangerous. It is a 10cm fluorescent jellyfish, transparent with pink or purple tones. It has 16 long tentacles that can cause pain, burning, nausea and muscle cramps. These species are difficult to spot, even more so in murky water after the recent storms. Look online for links that can help you to identify these species and be aware...
