One of Mallorca's most southerly and quiet beaches
Found on the west side of Mallorca’s most southern tip, Es Caragol is wonderful if you enjoy sunbathing somewhere a little more remote than your usual tourist spot.
After a 1.5km walk along Mallorcaโs rugged coastline, you can choose to either set up camp on the rocks, or for easier access to the sea, continue on until you see a small fisherman's lodge.
Away from the holidaymakersโ and expatsโ tourist chat, there's plenty of sand and space to spread out and enjoy your own company. Note that nudism is allowed here and practised fairly frequently.
Whilst there are some rubbish bins provided, promoting theyโd like the beach to be left as it was found, there arenโt many more amenities than this, so donโt expect any lifeguards or public bathrooms here. The nearest port facilities are at Port Colonia de Sant Jordi, 4.2 nautical miles away.
Restaurantsย
Known for its remote location, youโre better off taking a picnic and your own refreshments here. Colonia de Sant Jordi is about 20-30 minutesโ drive from the beach and offers a good selection of cafes and eateries.ย
Hotelsย
Thanks to its natural and unspoiled surroundings, there are no hotels directly on the beach, so youโll need to look for accommodation in the closest nearby towns of Ses Salines and Colonia de Sant Jordi.ย
Nightlifeย
Itโs no surprise that apart from natural beauty, you wonโt find much happening here except for a couple of BYO beers on the sand!ย
In the municipality of Ses Salines and 7km from Ses Salines town, Es Caragol is around 1.5hrs from Palma and a mostly untouched and very natural beach, not easily accessed except via the 1.5km hike. Visitors usually park in the designated roadside parking area and then walk for 30 โ 45 minutes which can be somewhat strenuous in the hot sun. The walk itself passes through beautiful landscape, fields, dunes and boasts wonderful coastal views. With red rugged coastline on the one side and wonderful rock formations on the other, itโs well worth the trek to Mallorcaโs most southern beach.
The water here is clear blue and deepens gently, with a sandy seabed beneath your toes. The bay, however, is fairly open, meaning the water can sometimes be choppy with areas of algae.
The large 1km stretch of white sand dunes, dotted with sparse vegetation never becomes crowded, not even in the summer months. Without much shade or amenities and a long walk back to the car, other beaches on Mallorca’s coast would be better off for young families or those with restricted mobility. But those who are able, will easily enjoy the benefits of this more remote, sandy surrounding.
There aren’t any water sports available here unless you remember to bring your own snorkel… Plus, it’s a long trek to trapse a paddleboard, and so a relaxed dip is usually the norm here.
To reach the beach, you should head towards the lighthouse at Far de Cap des Salines, where you’ll often find a line of cars. This is the only roadside parking available, and no public transport stops here.
Once you’ve found the Far de Cap lighthouse, head right and soon you'll find a sandy path along a flat path to the beach.
