Beach Cala Mesquida
near Capdepera (east)
Detailed Description
In the midst of a beautiful dune landscape lies the beach of Cala Mesquida. Ideal for swimming in the shallow water, it is especially fun when high waves roll into the bay on windy days. The beach is watched by a lifeguard, and there is also a bar that offers food. In terms of other facilities, showers, toilets, a Red Cross station, parasol rental, and sun-loungers round off the options. Visitors can also practise watersports or nudism on the beach, or go birdwatching in the surrounding dunes and hills, including at one of the largest gull and cormorant colonies in the Balearic Islands. Hence, the bay is under conservation.
