- 12 spots on sand
A small natural beach of about 85 m between Sa Roqueta and Es Pujols, of sand and rock, with low dunes and hardly any development. Sheltered by the Es Pujols reef, the water is usually calm, and the sand, rock and posidonia seabed draws fish close to the shore: good for snorkelling and for children. There is no beach bar; the nearest bars are in Es Pujols and Sa Roqueta.
Shelter by direction
Anchoring
Arena suggests 12 spots to anchor on sand, clear of Posidonia; the closest to the meadow is 20 m away.
Approximate depth: 0.9–7.2 m (EMODnet bathymetry).
Anchoring on Posidonia is forbidden: the app shows the meadow on the map and warns you if the anchor would land on it.
