General info: 

An idyllic bay situated between Cala Mesquida Beach and Cala Mitjana on the north east coast of Mallorca.

This beach attracts a good mix of locals and tourists and can get busy during the peak holiday weeks but most of the time you will find that this relatively hidden cove is quieter than most north coast beaches. It's rather tricky access means that it is not suitable for some people and others possibly can't be bothered with the walk on a hot summer day!

Getting there: 

Signposted on the road from Artà to Capdepera. Look for the turning after 9km. You have to drive down a rough track, then leave the car and walk through the dunes.
