General info: 

Cala en Bosc is a spacious beach a walking distance from the town center. The beach will be crowded but despite the everyday crowds, it is kept pretty clean.

If you prefer easiness over own peace and quietness, this is a good choice. Even though the beach is full of umbrellas and sunbathers and hotels and restaurants are close, the setting is in the end very beautiful.

This beach has lifeguards so it´s good for families with children.

Costs: 

The beach is free.
