Playa de Cala Serena is a very small cove in Mallorca, close to Cala Ferrera. Its clear water and fine sand make it suitable for swimming and snorkelling, and the bay is small enough that Cala Ferrera can be reached by swimming. Parking is available nearby, with access via steps or a short walk from the hilltop. Toilets are not mentioned; the kiosk may be closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there parking near Playa de Cala Serena?
Yes, parking is available nearby, including around the hilltop and near the tennis courts. One reviewer described parking as easy. From the parking area, you still need to walk down to the cove, and one visitor in July 2024 said the descent was not too long. In busy periods, it can help to arrive earlier to find a space.
What facilities are available at Playa de Cala Serena?
Reviews mention a small beach kiosk or bar, plus sunbeds and parasols for hire. Several guests also say these were easy to get. Toilets are not mentioned in the reviews. As the kiosk is not always open, it is sensible to bring water and any essentials with you.
Is Playa de Cala Serena suitable for swimming and snorkelling?
Yes. Reviews repeatedly mention clear water and good snorkelling conditions. The cove is small and fairly sheltered, which makes it suitable for calmer swimming. Some visitors also note that it is possible to swim to Cala Ferrera from here. Depending on the weather, jellyfish can appear, especially after rougher seas.
Can you walk or swim from Playa de Cala Serena to nearby coves?
Yes, several reviews mention walking or swimming to Cala Ferrera. Playa de Cala Serena is described as smaller than Cala Ferrera, and some visitors use it as a starting point for exploring the area. One review also mentions climbing the rocks on the right-hand side, with jumps of up to 4 metres. Always check local conditions before entering the water or climbing.
Is Playa de Cala Serena accessible for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility?
Based on the reviews, access is not barrier-free. Reaching the cove involves stairs or a walk down from the higher parking area. One review explicitly says the beach is not suitable for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. If you need step-free access, it is best to plan ahead.
Are there any special notes about cleanliness, jellyfish or possible closures?
Reviews occasionally mention jellyfish, plastic or litter in the water, as well as individual closures or warnings. Reasons cited include pollution, broken pipes or wastewater. This does not mean it happens all the time, but it is worth checking the situation before you go. If you visit in summer, it is also sensible to look out for any local notices.
