Beach overall scores
Beach Cala Gata (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Port des Canonge settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Majorca, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"If you're looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the typical tourist destinations, this secluded little bay is the perfect spot for a quick dip. It's situated in a beautiful, tranquil spot, so you can escape the crowds and enjoy some peaceful swimming. It's an ideal spot to cool off after a long hike - just make sure you don't stay too long!"
Liam Luke
"That place is a great spot for swimming and snorkeling, particularly around the rocks. To the east side, there are more stones, which are great for relaxing. To the west, you'll find more rocks. You can park at Port des Canonge and then take a marked path to the beach. The views are stunning! Plus, the best part is that public entry is free."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Beach Cala Gata (Majorca) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Beach Cala Gata (Majorca) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Beach Cala Gata for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
