What you’ll find

Rock
Rock, with small patches of sand and posidonia further out, about 100 × 10 m of beach.
Facilities
None: no beach bar, no toilets, no lifeguard. Bring everything you need.
Little shade
The pine wood comes close to the shore, but on the rock there's hardly any shade. Bring a parasol.
Snorkelling: excellent
Very clear water, a rocky bottom and posidonia meadows. It's one of the best spots in the area for swimming with a mask and snorkel, and it's inside a marine reserve.
Kids, with care
Rocky shore, no lifeguard or facilities and a walk to get there. For children, the sand at Cala Agulla next door is better.
Dogs: no specific rule
We haven't found a specific rule for this cove. At neighbouring Cala Agulla the signs say no dogs; check with the Ajuntament de Capdepera (town council) before you go.

How to get there

By car and on foot
You can't park by the cove. The nearest option is the es Clot de sa Grava council car park in Cala Rajada, open from 07:00 to 22:00, the same one used for Cala Agulla. In June 2026 the Govern (Balearic government) approved a new car park next to Cala Agulla, but its opening hasn't been confirmed. You get there via Cala Agulla. Since May 2026 you can't drive down to the beach, so you park in Cala Rajada and walk to Cala Agulla. At the far north end of its sand, several paths lead through the pine wood across the neck of the headland and down to Cala Moltó in a few minutes. The last stretch is rock and isn't suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.
By bus
TIB buses run to Cala Rajada. From the centre, walk to Cala Agulla and carry on from its north end to Cala Moltó.
By boat
It lies inside the Levante de Mallorca-Cala Rajada marine reserve, and Cala Moltó is one of the few places where the rules allow anchoring without a permit. In summer there are usually boats at anchor.

Tips and what to bring

  • Leave the car in Cala Rajada. Since May 2026 you can’t drive through to Cala Agulla.
  • Shoes for the rocks. The shore is stony and the path over the headland has uneven stretches.
  • Mask and snorkel. The water is some of the clearest in the area and there’s posidonia just a few metres out.
  • Bring water and shade. There are no facilities at all; the nearest are at Cala Agulla.
  • Respect the atmosphere. Naturist bathing is common and the cove is inside a protected area.

The cove faces north-east, so with a westerly or southerly wind it’s usually calm. With gregal (the north-east wind) or tramuntana (the north wind) the sea comes straight in and the rock gets slippery. In the morning the sun pours in.
