A Rugged Beach Surrounded by Pines
Also known as Cova dels Alberdans, Cala Auberdans is a narrow, v-shaped inlet carved into a rocky coastline, creating a wild and somewhat uncomfortable beach surface for bathers. Its isolation and natural terrain mean that only a few intrepid visitors venture here. The area is framed by a dense pine forest, offering contrast to the dramatic cliffs rising from na Terres to Cap des Pinar.
History, Trails & Nearby Sights
Despite its remoteness, Cala Auberdans lies within walking distance of the Canyamel area — a name that dates back to the 14th century and the cultivation of sugar cane. From this cove, you can explore the nearby Costa de Canyamel, Platja de Canyamel, and the Torre de Canyamel, a 13th-century defence tower famous for its Roman-arched windows, battlements, and medieval architecture.
Excellent Diving & Speleology Nearby
This stretch of coastline is a hidden gem for diving and speleodiving enthusiasts. Explore features like the underwater cave at Punta des Pi (7m depth), the rocky tunnel walls at Cala Roja, or the deeper Cova del Congre near Cap des Pinar, which descends to 20 metres. The area’s crystalline waters and rich seabed make it one of the best diving spots in the region.
