Playa Sa Bassa des Cabots

Description

Playa Sa Bassa des Cabots is a small sandy beach in Colonia de Sant Jordi, in the municipality of Ses Salines in the south of Mallorca.

Calm Waters, Views & Snorkelling

What sets this beach apart is its quiet, unhurried atmosphere. The water is clear, and those who bring snorkelling gear will find plenty of fish among the rocky, algae-covered seabed. It's equally well suited to sunbathing, and the sea views — especially towards evening — are a particular highlight. A pedestrian promenade running right along the water's edge is a bonus for anyone who'd rather stroll than swim.

Honest: What You Should Know

The beach is small, and the entry into the water is rocky and slippery — waterproof swim shoes are strongly recommended. The seabed consists mainly of rocks and algae, which makes carefree swimming somewhat limited. The cleanliness and upkeep of the beach have been noted as areas for improvement.

Location & Surroundings

The beach sits in Colonia de Sant Jordi (postcode 07638), part of the Ses Salines municipality in southern Mallorca. A canal that flows out to sea runs close to the village, and parking is only a short distance away.
