What Cala Agulla is like
An open bay of white sand just north of Cala Rajada, backed by dunes and pine woods, with the s'Agulla headland closing off the view. It is the biggest beach in the municipality and part of a protected natural area, so since 2025 cars stay out and you walk the last stretch.

What you’ll find
- Sand
- Fine white sand, with rocks at either end, about 520 × 50 m of beach.
- Facilities
- Beach bar, lifeguard, toilets, sunloungers.
- Little shade
- The pine woods are behind the dunes; on the sand the only shade is under a parasol.
- Snorkelling: good
- There is little to see over the sand. The interesting bits are on the rocks at either end and in neighbouring Cala Moltó.
- Good for kids
- Fine sand, a gentle slope into the water and lifeguards in season. With a levante (east wind) the waves roll in, so check the flags.
- Dogs: not allowed
- Signs at the entrance ban dogs. In Capdepera they are allowed all year round on na Ferradura beach, in Cala Rajada.
How to get there
- By car and on foot
- The old pay car park next to the beach was dismantled in February 2025. As an alternative, the Ajuntament (town council) opened the es Clot de sa Grava car park, in a former quarry in Cala Rajada, from 07:00 to 22:00. In June 2026 the Govern (Balearic government) authorised the use of land for a new 450-space car park next to the beach, but there is no confirmed opening date. Since May 2026 a barrier has blocked cars at the main entrance, before the toilets, and driving into the natural park can get you fined. The usual thing is to park in Cala Rajada, at the es Clot de sa Grava municipal car park, and walk for about 15 minutes through the streets and pine woods to the sand.
- By bus
- TIB buses run to Cala Rajada. From the centre of town it is a 15 to 20 minute walk to the beach.
Best time to go
- Season
- May, June, September and October
- Time of day
- Before 10:00 or after 18:00
- Crowds in summer
- High
It is the busiest beach in Capdepera. On peak summer days between 2,700 and 3,000 people have been counted. Go early or late in the afternoon.
Tips and what to bring
- Leave the car in town. There is no way round the barrier at the entrance, and the walk from es Clot de sa Grava is short and flat.
- Get there early in summer. From 11:00 the sand fills up and finding a spot gets hard.
- Check the flags. The bay is open to the levante, and when the wind blows from the east the waves roll in.
- Mask and snorkel for the rocks. The sandy bottom has little life; there is more to see at either end and in Cala Moltó.
- Look after the dunes. Stick to the marked paths: the dunes are what keep the beach alive.
In the morning the sun shines straight in, because the bay faces east-northeast. Late in the day the light softens over the sand and people start heading home.

Frequently asked questions
Can you drive right up to the beach?
No. Since May 2026 there has been a barrier at the main entrance, and driving into the natural park can get you fined. You need to park in Cala Rajada and walk.
Where can you park?
At the free es Clot de sa Grava municipal car park in Cala Rajada, open from 07:00 to 22:00. From there it is about a 15-minute walk. The new 450-space car park next to the beach is still going through the red tape.
Does it get very crowded?
In July and August, yes: it is the busiest beach in Capdepera. In September and October, or first thing in the morning, it is much quieter.
Is it good for children?
Yes. The sand is fine, the water deepens gradually and there are lifeguards in season. With an east wind (levante) the waves come in, so follow the flags.
Can you bring a dog?
No, the signs at the entrance ban them. The Capdepera beach that allows dogs all year round is na Ferradura, in Cala Rajada.
Can you bring music or glass bottles?
No. Capdepera's public behaviour bylaw bans glass on the sand, sound systems and street drinking parties.
