User reviews
"Our local skipper took us on an unforgettable journey when he rented a boat and took us snorkeling around the area. Of all the places we visited, the beach stood out as our favorite. Not only was it breathtakingly beautiful, but it also had a secluded Virgin beach with no amenities."
Kaija Luukkanen
"We had an amazing day trip on the charter boat from Illa d'Or to the Bay of Pollenca and up the coast to Cap Formentor. We stopped at Bay of Formentor for a swim in Cova Gosalba before having lunch. During the summer, access to Gosalba from the road to Cap Formentor may be restricted, but you can still walk in."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Cala en Gossalba (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 Cala en Gossalba (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 Cala en Gossalba 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.
