Playa Coll Baix
Description
Playa Coll Baix is a wild shingle cove in the Raiguer region, reachable only by a demanding hiking and scrambling trail or by boat.
Getting to the Cove
A footpath leads from the car park down to the cove — the final stretch descends steeply over rocks and loose scree and requires some scrambling. Sturdy footwear is absolutely essential; flip-flops or similarly unsuitable shoes pose a serious safety risk. There are two paths to choose from: the first is shorter but very steep, while the second is longer and slightly less steep, though it still involves scrambling sections. The trail is not for everyone — if you have any doubts, the boat is the better option.
The Cove Itself
Coll Baix welcomes visitors with a dark shingle beach and crystal-clear water. Strong waves can occur, so take care when swimming. You may also spot wild goats roaming the shoreline.
How to Find It
Playa Coll Baix is located in the Raiguer region of Mallorca (postcode 07400). The walking route starts at the car park, though a space is not guaranteed and can take a bit of luck to secure. Alternatively, the cove is accessible by boat, which is widely considered the more straightforward approach.
