Cala en Gossalba
Description
Cala en Gossalba is an unspoilt, uninhabited cove within the municipality of Pollença in the north of Mallorca.
Water, nature & what to expect
The water at Cala en Gossalba is crystal clear and clean — making swimming and snorkelling genuinely rewarding. Beneath the surface you'll find shoals of fish clearly visible among expansive Posidonia meadows. The small cove sits in a pristine, undeveloped landscape, and goats occasionally wander across the beach, adding to its wonderfully wild character. If you're arriving by boat, the sandy seabed makes for ideal anchoring.
Getting there: on foot or by boat
Cala en Gossalba can only be reached on foot or by boat. The walking trail begins at the MA-2210 near kilometre marker 14.9, where there is a small car park at a mirador. Parking is free, but spaces are limited and fill up quickly — an early start is well worth it. The walk down to the cove takes under an hour. Worth noting: during the summer months, the MA-2210 towards Cap de Formentor is closed to private vehicles during the day, so it's important to factor this into your plans if you're travelling by car.
Tranquillity & the quieter months
Outside of peak season — around November, for instance — the cove is almost entirely deserted. In August, however, a good number of boats tend to anchor here, which can noticeably reduce the peace and quiet and make swimming a little less comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Cala en Gossalba?
Either by boat or on foot via a walking trail that starts at the MA-2210 near kilometre marker 14.9, at the mirador car park. The path is easy to follow and takes less than an hour.
Are there any restrictions on driving there in summer?
Yes. During the summer months, the MA-2210 towards Cap de Formentor is periodically closed to private vehicles. If you're planning to drive, it's worth checking the current restrictions in advance and setting off early.
Is the cove worth visiting if you don't have a boat?
