Stretching along the coastline between Son Serra de Marina and S’Estanyol, is one of Mallorca’s most beautiful and natural beaches. Due to its slight inaccessibility and the fact that it is relatively unknown by tourists this gem of a beach is quiet even in the peak of summer.
In 1991 Sa Canova beach was named a protected ‘Natural area of Special Interest’ due to its ecological importance and abundance of indigenous plant life, and it has so far managed to remain unblemished by tourism and consumer culture. This virgin state is not a given however, as business owners and developers often petition to build along the coast and open bars on the beach in the summer months. The locals are consistently fighting these enterprises in an attempt to keep this stretch of beach unsullied however they surely will not be able to hold off development forever, so if you want to visit this serene patch of natural beauty visit soon whilst it’s still there.
