Description

Platja des Coll Baix is a secluded natural cove on Mallorca, reachable only on foot or by boat.

The Cove & Its Nature

The cove sits nestled between towering cliffs, surrounded by woodland and rugged coastline. The water is crystal clear, and the beach is made up of pebbles — which can get very hot in direct sunlight. Wild goats roam the beach and surrounding rocks, something many visitors describe as an unforgettable part of the experience. The natural seclusion creates an exceptionally peaceful atmosphere, though boat arrivals can bring occasional bustle. Conditions are well suited to snorkelling, with fish clearly visible through the clear water.

Getting There

The route passes through woodland and along the coast; from a car park, the rest of the journey is on foot. The walk takes around 30 minutes at a comfortable pace. The final stretch runs across rocks and requires sure footing and free hands — sturdy footwear is absolutely essential, and sandals or flip-flops are not suitable. Leaving the marked path leads to impassable drops, so staying on the route is key to reaching the cove at all. The cove can also be reached by boat. A swing with sea views sits along the path.

Where to Find It

The cove is located on the La Victòria peninsula in the north of Mallorca, postcode 07400. The car park is accessible by car, and the footpath to the cove begins from there. The track leading to the car park is unpaved and rough — vehicles with low ground clearance will struggle on this section.

Who It's Right For

The cove is ideal for confident walkers and sure-footed visitors who are after seclusion and unspoilt nature. The final rocky section is physically demanding; anyone without experience of light scrambling should assess the descent carefully. There are no facilities on site — no toilets or drinking water — so you'll need to bring everything you need, including plenty of water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reach the cove by boat?
Yes, the cove is accessible by boat — for many visitors, this is the easier alternative to the rocky walk on foot.
Are there toilets or drinking water on site?
No. There are no facilities of any kind — no toilets and no drinking water. Bring everything you need with you, including sufficient water.
What should I bring on the way to the cove?
Sturdy, grippy footwear is a must. As the final section involves scrambling over rocks, you'll need your hands free — a rucksack is far better than a bag you'd carry by hand. It's also worth keeping your rucksack fastened, as the wild goats are always on the lookout for a snack.
