Rugged Charm in the Shadow of Puig de s’Esclop

Cala Can Pruaga, also known as Cala Son Pruaga or Platja de Can Pruaga, lies beneath the dramatic cliffs of the Serra de Tramuntana. Nestled below the Mirador d’en Ricard Roca, this beach is part of an Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès and framed by the towering es Morro and Puig de s’Esclop. With its pebbled shore and transparent waters, the beach offers untamed beauty rather than comfort, attracting mostly locals from Estellencs.

A Cove Fed by Torrents & Framed by Cliffs

Set in a wide, open sea inlet, Cala Can Pruaga is surrounded by steep cliffs and multiple torrents—including Torrent de sa Figuera and Torrent des Quer—that flow down from the mountains. The lack of shelter and the rocky terrain make swimming and sunbathing challenging, but the natural spectacle is impressive and rewarding for adventurous visitors.

For Cautious Navigators Only

Anchoring is possible, but only for small-draught boats, and only during calm weather and daylight. Navigators must exercise caution due to rocky projections near the shore. The closest marina is Port d’Andratx, which provides the nearest facilities for boaters wishing to explore this rugged western coastline.
