Getting there
Parking at the resort and seasonal buses from Es Migjorn Gran and the island’s main towns.
Where to eat nearby
- Es Bruc — Beach bar-restaurant on the sand at the western end: grilled fish, salads, tapas and combined plates with sea views. Reviews mention generous portions; prices have risen
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
- Open to the south, so waves build quickly with southerly winds.
Worth combining
- Binigaus, 10 minutes west on foot.
- Cova des Coloms through the Binigaus ravine.
- Cala Escorxada, an hour west on the Camí de Cavalls.

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.
