Platja de Cala Agulla


At the northern edge of town this horseshoe-shaped beach wraps around a calm, pale-sand bay lapped by turquoise waters on the edge of a pine-cloaked conservation area. There's precious little development to be seen from the sand, but the beach itself is packed with umbrellas for rent. A little further north is the narrow, quieter Platja de ses Covasses.
