What Caló des Moro is like

A narrow inlet of turquoise water between rock walls with pines, with a small beach of white sand and stones at the far end. There are no buildings or facilities, and the land around it belongs to a private estate looked after by a foundation.

What you’ll find

Sand: White sand with rocks along the sides, about 30 × 20 m of beach.
Facilities: None: no beach bar, no toilets, no lifeguard. Bring everything you need.
Little shade: Only what the rock walls give at certain times of day. There are no trees on the sand.
Snorkelling: good: Very clear water and a sandy bottom in the middle, with rocks and walls along the sides.
Kids, with care: The water is usually calm, but the last stretch is rocky, there are queues in summer and there are no facilities or lifeguard.
Dogs: no specific rule: We haven't found a specific municipal rule. The path crosses a private estate; if you bring a dog, keep it on a lead.

How to get there

By car and on foot: The municipal car park at the entrance to Cala Llombards is the only one nearby. In summer it fills up around 8:30 or 9:00. You can't park in the streets of the resort, and the Policía Local (local police) hand out fines in high season. In 2026 the Ajuntament (town council) opened extra spaces in es Llombards and announced signs showing how full the cove and the car parks are. From the car park at the entrance to Cala Llombards you walk for about 15 minutes along paved streets in the resort, then about 10 minutes on a dirt and rock path across private land. The last stretch drops down between stones to the sand. Another option is to go down the stairway at Cala s'Almunia and follow the coastal path.
By bus: In summer there's a bus stop at Cala Llombards, next to the car park, about 20 minutes' walk away. Check the TIB website for which line and timetable are running this year.
By boat: Some boat trips along the Santanyí coast pass in front of the cove. The sandy bottom allows small boats to anchor.

Tips and what to bring

Arrive before 9:00. After that the car park is usually full, and you’ll be fined if you park in the streets of the resort.
Closed shoes. The path has loose stones and the last stretch drops down between rocks to the sand.
Water and food. There’s no beach bar or fountain at the cove, and the walk back in full sun feels long.
Stay on the path. The land you cross is private, and the foundation that looks after it maintains the path and the signs.
Shake off the sand before you leave. In summer the cove loses dozens of kilos of sand a day, stuck to feet and towels.

The cove faces east, so in the morning the sun shines right into the water. In May, June or October, first thing, it looks just like the photos and there are few people.
