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.

## Getting there

From Maó, follow signs through Sant Climent to Es Canutells. There is public parking in the settlement and a short stepped descent to the shore. Seasonal buses serve the area; check the current timetable.

## Where to eat nearby

- Es Canutells settlement: Restaurants and drinks near the cove

Restaurants and opening hours change by season; check before you go.

## Good to know

- The beach has few facilities: bring water and shade.
- Respect barriers and signs around the cliffs; one access was reported blocked after rockfalls in April 2026.

## Worth combining

- Camí de Cavalls towards Cales Coves or Binidalí.
