Anchoring

18 spots on sand

The eastern end of Migjorn beach, at the foot of La Mola, with sand and a sandy seabed that runs well out to sea, easy for swimming. Next to it is the small Es Copinar resort, with restaurants and beach bars close to the shore. It takes its name from the warty venus clams (escopinyes) that used to be plentiful here.

Anchoring on Posidonia is forbidden: the app shows the meadow on the map and warns you if the anchor would land on it.
