Cala Petita
Description
Cala Petita is a small, sheltered sand-and-shingle cove on the east coast of Mallorca, tucked between Porto Cristo and S'Illot.
The Cove
Cala Petita sits at the end of a narrow inlet lined with low scrubland. The water is turquoise and clear, and the sheltered setting keeps conditions calm and gentle. The beach itself is small and narrow, with sand at its centre and rocky sections along the sides. Snorkellers will find fish, sea urchins and plenty of other marine life just beneath the surface. Do watch your step on the cliff edges, as the rocks there are sharp.
Getting There & the Walk Down
A footpath winds through low cliffs and scrubland to reach the cove. Sturdy footwear is a good idea, as the path is stony and includes a few steps along the way. There is a private car park nearby, which charges a small fee. If you prefer to leave the car behind, the cove is also walkable from Porto Cristo — a route that is perfectly manageable for families with children.
Accessibility
The path down to Cala Petita involves steps and uneven terrain, which makes it unsuitable for visitors with limited mobility.
