Reviewed By karentI2089QP - Cardiff, United Kingdom

Very clean beach, coarse under foot as not sand but so much cleaner! Showers on the beach, parasol and sun longer hire...€6 each for the day. Lovely sea with clear water....fabulous waves, great for swimming and relaxing. And only a small walk from most hotels.

Cala de Sant Francesc

Reviewed By Bluebellplasnewydd - Cardiff, United Kingdom

Crystal clear waters, sandy beach, restaurant and rocks for snorkelling. Well what more do you want? This is a destination beach where you could spent a day. Parking is possible on the cliff above with a short and attractive walk down to the sea. I suspect the main problem is that it gets very busy compared to my visit in April.
