Beach overall scores
Cala Murta (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Port de Pollenca 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
"Beautiful, aqua marine sea. Gentle sloped, quiet walk down to the very small cove through shaded pine tree forest. There were only a dozen or so people on the beach when I visited. (Taking the 344 bus from Port Pollenca as cars aren't allowed past Formentor beach during the day after 10am) Definitely worth a visit. Take your own food & drink etc as it's just nature's beauty ..."
Amanda Phipps
"Amazing place ! The walk to the beach from the bus stop and back is quite easy and very enjoyable, in the shadow of trees. Saw donkeys and a lot of goats. The nature in the bay is just breathtaking, with crystal clean water of amazing colors ! Seems like a paradise. I also recommend to follow a path to El Castellet to the right of the beach, which in 10 minutes will lead you..."
