What you’ll find
- Sand
- Sand and rock, about 20 × 15 m of beach.
- Facilities
- None: no beach bar, no toilets, no lifeguard. Bring everything you need.
- Little shade
- There are pine trees around the edges, but on the sand there's hardly any shade at midday.
- Snorkelling: good
- Clear, sheltered water, with a rocky bottom along the sides of the inlet.
- Kids, with care
- The water is sheltered, but the path is uneven, it's hot in summer and there are no facilities or lifeguard.
- Dogs: no specific rule
- We haven't found a specific Felanitx rule for this cove. Check with the Ajuntament before you go.
How to get there
- By car and on foot
- The cove has no car park. People usually park around Cala sa Nau and walk from there. In 2025 the Ajuntament de Felanitx (town council) gave up on legalising the old dirt car park at Cala sa Nau, which is on protected land. The road is narrow: don't block it and follow the signs. The most commonly mentioned route is to walk south along the coast from Cala sa Nau, about 20 minutes on a path of stone and dirt with some uneven stretches. The inland path down from the Camí de Cala Mitjana crosses a private estate, and several sources say it can no longer be used.
- By boat
- It's an anchoring area and you can get there by private boat. Buoys mark off the swimming area.
Best time to go
- Season
- May, June, September and October
- Time of day
- Before 10:00 or after 17:00
- Crowds in summer
- Medium
It's very small, so in July and August at midday it fills up straight away and people spread out over the rocks. Early or late in the day it's quiet.
Tips and what to bring
- Water and something to eat. There’s nothing at the cove; the nearest bar is at Cala sa Nau.
- Trainers, not flip-flops. The coastal path has loose stones and uneven stretches.
- Get there early. The beach is tiny and at midday in summer there’s no room left on the sand.
- Swimming goggles. The water in the inlet is clear and the rocky sides are worth a look.
- Respect the estate. The land around the cove is private: stay on the path and take your rubbish home.
The cove faces south-east and is well sheltered at the end of the inlet. In the morning the sun pours in; late in the day there are fewer people and the water is usually still.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get to Cala Mitjana?
On foot or by boat. Most people go to Cala sa Nau and walk about 20 minutes south along the coast. The inland path crosses a private estate and, according to several sources, can no longer be used.
Where can I park?
There's no parking at the cove. You park around Cala sa Nau, where spaces are few and the road is narrow. Follow the signs and don't block the road.
Does it get very busy?
The beach is about 20 metres long, so in high summer it fills up quickly. First thing in the morning or late in the afternoon it's much quieter.
Is it good for children?
The water is usually calm, but the path is uneven and there's no shade, facilities or lifeguard. Better with children who are already good walkers.
Can I bring my dog?
We haven't found a specific rule for this cove. If you take your dog, keep it on a lead and check with the Ajuntament de Felanitx first.
Is there a lifeguard or any facilities?
No. There's no lifeguard, beach bar or toilets. The nearest are at Cala sa Nau.
Is it a private beach?
The beach is public, like the whole coastline. What's private is the land around it and the inland path.
