Mallorca is breathtaking. The abrupt inland landscapes stand in utter contrast to the crystal-clear waters of its beaches and coves, which are year-round attractions regardless of the season, offering as they do a combination of unspoilt nature, relaxation and an endless list of ways of keeping yourself fit. Today we’re recommending Cala Mesquida, one of the archipelago’s most stunning beaches, located between the districts of Capdepera and Artà.
Cala Mesquida, otherwise known as S’Arenal de Sa Mesquida, is situated just 7 km from Capdepera and 15 km from Artà, on the north-eastern end of Mallorca. It features white sand, rocks, dunes and typical Mediterranean vegetation and, as home to a large colony of seagulls and cormorants, you’re likely to spot a wide range of bird species. Cala Mesquida beach encapsulates the contrasts that you can find throughout the island: there are extremely peaceful, semi-virgin areas, while elsewhere there is a tourist hub that has flourished for decades. Its importance on Mallorca is such that it has been granted protected status as a Natural Area of Special Interest.
Reaching the bay by car is child’s play, so it’s ideal for visiting with family or friends. It has an easy bus connection to two of Mallorca’s most beautiful towns: Capdepera and Artá.
You’ll find all manner of services on offer at Cala Mesquida: sunbed and sunshade rental, a pharmacy, bars, restaurants, hotels and an outdoor shower area.
If you’re into water sports, you might want to have a go at snorkelling, surfing or pedal boating, all very popular activities in the bay. Naturism is permitted towards the eastern end, if you fancy baring all.
And if you’re a golf-lover, just a stone’s throw away there’s Capdepera Golf, a wonderful 18-hole course boasting all the facilities you need.
