General info: 

Cala des Talaier is a picturesque small beach in a small bay with calm waters. The turquoise crystal clear water makes you forget that you are not in paradise but close to civilization in Spain.

This beach is a bit less crowded than the easier access beaches but you can always count on not being alone. Also small boats like to anchor on the bay especially on the peak season. There are no facilities in this beach.

Getting there: 

You can walk about 15 min from Son Saura beach or 25 min from Cala en Turqueta. There is no parking lot at Cala des Talaier so you can leave your car at Son Saura or Cala en Turqueta lots.
