Intimate shores
The Cala Barca beach has 35 metres of warm, peaceful sands. It’s no surprise that it can get busy in the summer months, because it’s a scenic stretch of coast bordered by pine and oak trees. Along with the Sea Soul Beach Club, where you can grab a drink in between sunbathing stints, on-beach showers and toilets are also available.
The area’s clear waters are sheltered by a line of rocks that keep the waves in check. This makes Cala Barca beach a hotspot for snorkellers and divers wanting to explore the underwater landscape. If you’re a novice, there’s a scuba and snorkelling centre where experts will show you the ropes and get you suited up like a pro.
