Caló des Moro is a tiny natural cove near Santanyí and Cala Llombards. It is famous for its dramatic cliffs, clear turquoise water and postcard-style views.
This is not an easy beach day. Parking is away from the cove, access involves a walk and a steep final descent, and there are no toilets, showers, beach bars or sunbeds on the beach itself.
Visit early or outside peak summer if you want a better experience. It is best for confident swimmers, couples and scenic visits, but it is not ideal for pushchairs, limited mobility or a full family beach setup.
