Untouched Setting & Scenic Landscape
Cala Blanca sits at the end of a V-shaped sea inlet, surrounded by steep cliffs, rugged terrain, and a backdrop of scrubland and pine trees. A small irrigated platform at the rear, fed by a seasonal torrent, adds a patch of green to the otherwise dry and rocky environment. The shoreline itself features gravel, pebbles, and deposits of posidonia (seagrass), enhancing its raw, natural character.
Despite its remote setting, the cove remains a hidden gem for the few visitors who make the effort to reach this quiet and virgin beach, far from the busy tourist hotspots.
Boating & Anchoring
The anchoring conditions are favourable, with a rocky seabed interspersed with sandy patches and water depths ranging from 3 to 5 metres. The cove is exposed to winds from the southeast, so boaters should remain cautious depending on weather conditions. The nearest marina facilities are at Club Nàutic Santa Ponça, approximately 3.9 nautical miles away.
Access & Popularity
Access by car is straightforward until Camp de Mar. From there, a track towards Port d'Andratx leads to Cala Llamp, where visitors can park their car. The final 200-metre walk follows a steep trail down to Cala Blanca itself. Due to its more challenging access, the beach remains quiet and lightly visited, appealing to those seeking natural seclusion and unspoilt coastal scenery.
