Directions
Cala Falco is not easy to find, and a car is essential. Take the road towards Cala Figuera/Cala Falco and pass through Cala Vinyes. You will reach a one-way system as you approach the Cap de Figuera, then take the road to the right and keep your eyes peeled for a sign to the beach (sign to your left, beach to the right!). There is plenty of free parking and you can access the beach down some fairly steep steps.
