## Getting there

Free parking near the beach and a short walk; summer bus from Maó.

## Where to eat nearby

- Cap Roig: Clifftop seafood restaurant since the 1980s, about five minutes from the beach: fish paella, red prawns, lobster, octopus and grilled calamari. Book in summer; upmarket prices

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

## Good to know

- Open to the north-east: it can be rough with Tramuntana or easterly winds.
