The sand here is the type you’d happily sprinkle between your toes; fine and golden, perfect for sunbathing, beach games and sandcastle building. Being one of Mallorca's 'Blue-Flag' beaches, Cala Agulla is a clean and eco-responsible beach with designated areas for recycling and rubbish.
The golden sand you’ll find here is excellent for beach sports, especially volleyball which you’ll see often with their two provided nets. In addition, there are pedalos, SUP paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkelling gear to rent, along with a banana boat during the tourist season.
Boat trips and diving trips around the local coastline are also easily sourced from beachside kiosks.
Cala Agulla is easily accessible by car with plenty of paid parking available. Some tourist buses will venture here, or you can affordably taxi from the nearby town of Capdepera. If you’re lucky enough to be arriving by boat, there are several moorings available at a greater depth but be aware of anchoring too close as there are large rocky areas in the shallows.
