Small pebbled beach in the north-east of Mallorca on the Cap de Formentor
This small beach is nestled within a small bay, encircled by the towering mountains in the north-east of Mallorca on the Cap de Formentor. Its remote location and stunning mountainous backdrop make it all the more beautiful, and provides a more peaceful and subdued beach experience compared to many other shores in Mallorca.
The beach is around 45 metres long and 40 metres wide. Located among high vertical cliffs, this pebble, gravel and rock beach has some sandy spots. The water here is crystal clear, perfect for snorkelling thanks to its rocky bottom.
Located 14 kilometres from Port de Pollença, you will need to drive here then park and walk for around 1.5 kilometres (15 to 20 minutes) from the car park to reach the beach. The path is well signposted, but bear in mind that it is quite a steep hike back up which takes around 30 minutes. We recommend taking good walking shoes and plenty of water!
