Getting there
Parking in the resort, then steps or the road down to the sand. Regular buses from Maó.
Where to eat nearby
- Cova d’en Xoroi — Bar and club in a cliff-face cave with terraces over the sea, famous for sunset drinks. There is an entry fee that has included a first drink; check current opening before going
Restaurants, menus and opening hours change from season to season; many close in winter. Check before you go and book in summer.
Good to know
- Several restaurants and bars line the clifftop above the beach.
Worth combining
- Cales Coves and its prehistoric burial caves, reachable on foot via the coast (a loop with Es Canutells is about 11 km).

Wind & shelter
The catalogue records this beach as opening towards S. Wind coming from that direction can drive waves towards the shore; wind from the opposite direction may give more shelter near the sand. Headlands, terrain and offshore swell can change the result.
During northerly Tramuntana, south-coast coves may offer more shelter. Southerly winds can bring waves into these beaches; compare the forecast rather than relying on the coast alone.
