Playa Cales Piques

Cala piques beach is an amazing place to relax your mind and enjoy crystal clear water. Good thing is close to the road and easy to find parking space. It's really clean and well maintained.

A stunning, serene spot to spend a day. Its tranquil atmosphere ensures a tranquil getaway. The scenery is simply breathtaking and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Cala Pequena no-photo
8 Bobby D

The rocky outcrop is not a traditional beach, but it is perfect for a quick visit. It offers opportunities for snorkeling and jumping off rocks. Additionally, there is a small cave that you can swim into and climb up inside.

Cala Pregonda
6 Finnley Mae Lomax

An exclusive spot to take a dip in its tranquil, clean, and crystal clear waters.

Cala del Pilar
8 Pabloa Pinz

This place is no gentle stroll. It's a steep and winding path of sand and rocks, with steps to access it, but no flat areas in sight. I definitely needed my walking sticks, and had to take plenty of rest stops. It's a lovely secluded beach, but there are no facilities, not even a portable toilet. However, it does have a Virgin beach with no amenities. If you're fit enough to make the journey, it's worth it, but make sure you take drinks and leave before dark, as the steps up the rocks can be quite a challenge.

Platja Es Grau
6 Martinette Flack

This beach near es Grau is an absolute delight! The shallow water keeps the sea temperature warm, which makes it a perfect spot for a swim. The scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere is peaceful. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the sun. a great spot for families, couples, and friends alike.
