Platja des Carbó
Description
Platja des Carbó is an unspoilt sandy beach in the south of Mallorca, close to Colònia de Sant Jordi in the municipality of Ses Salines.
Water, Sand and Tranquillity
Turquoise, crystal-clear water and fine white sand define this long stretch of beach. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried — noticeably quieter than many other beaches in the area. The nature reserve remains largely untouched, and the views out to sea are particularly rewarding at dusk, when the sunsets can be truly spectacular.
Getting There on Foot
The beach is accessible from the harbour in Colònia de Sant Jordi on foot only — depending on your pace, the coastal walk takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Arriving by car, motorbike or bicycle from inland is not possible: the land behind the beach is fenced off, and roads either end on private property or at locked gates. If you're using Google Maps, do take care — there are reports of the app routing walkers onto private tracks or blocked access points. There is no car park near the beach.
No Facilities — Bring Everything You Need
There are no amenities at the beach whatsoever: no kiosk, no beach bar, no sun loungers and no lifeguard service. If you're planning a full day here, make sure you bring everything with you.
Seagrass and Pure Nature
The beach sits within a nature reserve and, at certain times of year — particularly in winter and after storms — washed-up seagrass is part of the picture. This is simply the natural rhythm of this wild, undeveloped stretch of coastline.
