Beach overall scores
Cala Brafi (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Cala Marcal 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 and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Cala Brafi with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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
"This secluded beach has a stunning view, but it's not ideal to wear flip flops on the rocks to access it. Additionally, be aware that there are some older German nudists around. For some extra privacy, you can use the ruins of a house to shield yourself from others. The only downside is the abundance of seaweed along the shore and in the water."
Ivana Beránková
"The journey down the rocky path was difficult and tedious. The seaweed was abundant, and there were plenty of nude bathers! Although the area was picturesque, Portocolom was much more pleasant."
