A Split Inlet with Unique Coastal Formations
Tucked within a U-shaped sea inlet near Colònia de Sant Jordi, Bassa des Cabots presents a fascinating natural layout, with two distinct beaches—one semicircular, the other rectangular—divided by a rocky headland. The surrounding steep rocks have been sculpted by the sea, and a coastal promenade leads visitors along this unshaded shoreline, where vegetation is sparse but views are plentiful.
Panoramic Vistas & Diving Potential
Set near Punta des Coto and Punta des Tort, the beach boasts open views to the Cabrera archipelago. Just offshore lies Illa de na Cabot, while Illa na Corberana rests half a nautical mile to the east. This stretch of coastline is dotted with small islands and underwater rocky arches, making it a magnet for divers and explorers alike. The seabed near Bassa des Cabots is rocky yet navigable, and boats can anchor with care.
Easy Access with a Quiet Ambience
Despite its proximity to Colònia de Sant Jordi and nearby urban development, Bassa des Cabots retains a low visitor count, attracting mostly locals. Free parking is available nearby, and clear signage makes it easy to locate. Though modest in size, this beach offers a peaceful alternative to Mallorca’s busier southern beaches.
