How to get there
- By car and on foot
- The town council sheet shows no public car park. Guides mention a small, free dirt parking area next to the cove, and OpenStreetMap shows a car park at that spot. In summer it fills up early. You get there via Magaluf and Cala Vinyes, following the signs towards the Cap des Falcó, to Carrer Cap Falcó. From there you walk down to the sand by some steep steps, in two or three minutes. The town council sheet shows no boardwalk or any facilities for people with reduced mobility.
- By bus
- There's no stop at the cove. The nearest is Platja de Cala Vinyes, on TIB lines 105 and 106, just under 1 km away as the crow flies.
- By boat
- Visit Calvià says the bottom is sand and seaweed at 3 to 4 metres, good for anchoring. The nearest harbour is the Club Nàutic de Palmanova, a mile away.
Best time to go
- Season
- May, June, September and October
- Time of day
- In the morning, before the little sand there is gets taken
- Crowds in summer
- Low
The Ajuntament rates its occupancy as low, but the sand is tiny and in August it fills up with just a few people.
Tips and what to bring
- Bring everything you need. There’s no beach bar, showers, toilet or drinking fountain.
- Comfortable shoes. The way down is by steep steps.
- Get there early. The sand is tiny, and so is the dirt car park.
- Mask and snorkel. Swim along the rock walls of the inlet and towards the islet at its mouth.
- Leave the dog at home. Pets aren’t allowed on Calvià’s beaches.
The inlet opens to the south-south-east, towards the Bay of Palma. With tramuntana (northerly) or poniente (westerly) it’s usually calm; with migjorn (southerly) or xaloc (south-easterly) the sea can come in.
