Macarella’s small sister cove: white sand, turquoise water and high cliffs. Popular with naturists, and without any facilities.

## Getting there

In summer private cars cannot reach the area: take the L69 bus from Ciutadella to Macarella, then walk 10–20 minutes on the cliff path or the Camí de Cavalls. You can also walk in from Cala Galdana (about 4 km, steep and rocky in places).

## Where to eat nearby

- Susy’s bar at Macarella: The only service nearby, in the pine woods behind Macarella: grilled meat and fish, salad and chips

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

## Good to know

- Bring everything you need.
- Some sections of the cliff path need care with young children.
- Keep off the dunes so they can regenerate.

## Worth combining

- Cala Macarella next door.
