A tiny cove of fine white sand and very shallow turquoise water between Son Saura and Cala en Turqueta. Small rocky inlets on each side are good for photos and snorkelling.

## Getting there

No road access. Park at Son Saura (free) and walk about 15–20 minutes along the Camí de Cavalls; you can also walk in from Cala en Turqueta. The path is uneven and not suitable for pushchairs.

## 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

- There are no services of any kind: bring food, plenty of water and shade.
- Summer counts put it at roughly double its comfortable capacity, so go early or out of season.

## Worth combining

- Son Saura and Cala en Turqueta along the coast path.
