Sa Caleta
Sa Caleta, also called Caleta d’en Gorries, is a small sandy cove south of Ciutadella. It shares the outer inlet with Santandria but has its own beach, beside Torre des Castellar. Shallow water and nearby services make it a convenient family stop.

Getting there
Follow the Sa Caleta signs from the Santandria road. Street parking near the cove is limited; the mapped parking farther east gives a walk of about seven minutes. Buses from Ciutadella serve the neighbourhood. Some entrances have steps.
Where to eat nearby
- Sa Caleta neighbourhood — Cafés and restaurants close to the beach
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
- Choose Sa Caleta rather than Santandria in your directions: these are separate beaches.
- The small sand area fills quickly in summer.
Worth combining
- Torre des Castellar on the headland.
- Santandria and the coastal walk towards Ciutadella.

Wind & shelter
The catalogue records this beach as opening towards SW. 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.
