Maó · South coast
Es Canutells
A small sandy beach at the inland end of a cliff-lined inlet on Maó’s southeast coast, between Cales Coves and Binidalí. The settlement and moored fishing boats give Es Canutells a different character from the larger resorts.

Restaurants, menus and opening hours change from season to season; many close in winter. Check before you go and book in summer.
Good to know

- Respect barriers and signs around the cliffs; one access was reported blocked after rockfalls in April 2026.
Worth combining

Wind & shelter
The catalogue records this beach as opening towards S. Wind coming from that direction can drive waves towards the shore; wind from the opposite direction may give more shelter near the sand. Headlands, terrain and offshore swell can change the result.
During northerly Tramuntana, south-coast coves may offer more shelter. Southerly winds can bring waves into these beaches; compare the forecast rather than relying on the coast alone.
