Closed this season

A fishermen's cove in the bay of Porroig, facing Punta des Jondal, with traditional boat sheds and slipways at its right-hand end. The sea is usually calm and rocky stretches make it good for looking at the seabed with a mask; a few pines give summer shade. On the beach itself, the Es Xarcu beach bar serves fresh fish.
