Two natural beaches set in pine forest on the north-west coast: Es Tancats, the larger, divided by low rocky reefs, and the smaller, quieter Es Bot to the east.

## Getting there

From Ciutadella follow signs to Cala Morell, then La Vall / Algaiarens; drive slowly on the narrow road through the pines. The car park is 5–10 minutes from the sand; check the sign at the entrance showing whether it is full. Guides disagree on whether it is currently paid.

## Where to eat nearby

Guides list no bar or restaurant within walking distance. Bring water, food and shade.

Restaurants and opening hours change by season; check before you go.

## Good to know

- No food or drink on the beach: bring water, shade and a bag for rubbish.
- Shallow, calm water when there is no north wind.

## Worth combining

- Cala Morell and its necropolis, a short drive west.
