Beaches
NORTH
One of our favorite beaches. This costal enclave has a special magic of its own. This is largely due to the interplay of colours created by the clays, the volcanic rocks and turquoise blue of the sea. The beach is sheltered from the tramontana by the breakwaters opposite which are a great place for watching birds and marine life.
45 min walk
This medium sized cove, surrounded by hills of clay, has golden sands and limpid waters. Although slightly off the beaten track, it is a favourite with locals and visitors who come here in moderate numbers. You can get here along the Cami de Cavalls, from Ets Alocs beach or Sant Felip beach. In both cases, you'll still have to walk for about 45min to get there.
