Platja Sa Mesquida — Attraction in Maó

Visited the beach for the first time in 16 years of coming to the island.

Was on the beach for an hour and see decided to go into the sea despite the waves looking quite big.

I'm 1.98m tall and 16 stone. Very strong swimmer. I had my phone in a waterproof housing on a strap around my neck and went into the water. The waves were fun for me, but they intimidated my wife who refused to get into the water. All of a sudden I looked up at a wave which was a good 2 ft higher than me. Omg I got span around and arounder under the wave. I felt my feet fly up out of the water. When I came up my phone wasn't around my neck!!!! Was surrounded by so much white water, sand and seaweed I couldn't see my phone. Omg I lost My iPhone!!!! Complete nightmare. Sent an hour searching for it. Nothing. Came back to the beach thr next day to speak with the life guards. Nobody had seen my phone.

Expensive mistake

Please be very careful entering the water.... The waves are some of the most powerful I've ever...

On holiday in Cala En Porter for a week. We have hired a car and are travelling around the island. We went to to Platja Sa Mesquida today on the recommendation of my wife’s auntie who lives in Ibiza. What a stunning little bay! Went snorkelling off the sandy beach and then moved around to the pebbled bay a short walk across the wooden footpath. Loads of fish and sea fauna to explore. Absolute tranquility and peace!! Met the gelato guy who has been in business for 30 years and bought some slush drinks from him to cool down. His van was parked up next to the little house at the bottom of the road. This place is heavenly! Few people, two toilets, and the gelato guy. Bring some snacks, towels and an umbrella. How simple...

Came back at the same place after a year and it was a shame that the weather was not very great. But felt good just to stay on the sand and enjoy the afternoon having some snacks and relax.

Although the place is peaceful and pretty that day being windy and not being able to go to the water as it was full of seaweeds and with big waves last year we experienced something special that we had to come back this year.

Make sure to pack some lunch and snacks as there is only one restaurant near if not you will have to go back to Mao and have some lunch there which is around 10min driving...
