Rugged Setting & Historical Interest
Cala Llamp sits within a natural sea inlet framed by rocky cliffs, with a small village and residential development in its immediate surroundings. Unlike many nearby beaches, Cala Llamp is completely absent of sand, offering a pure stony shoreline with crystal-clear waters. Its close proximity to Port d’Andratx also makes it a convenient base for visiting the Torre de Sant Carles, a 14th-century military fortress later rebuilt in the 16th century to protect the harbour. From here, visitors can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Port d’Andratx, El Galatzó, Sa Mola, and the island of Sa Dragonera.
Boating, Diving & Anchoring
Anchoring conditions are favourable for both boats and divers when winds from the south, southeast, or west are not too strong. The seabed consists of rocky ground with pebbles, with depths of around 5 metres, but boaters should proceed with caution due to the risk of running aground on submerged rocks. The nearest port services are available at Port d’Andratx, approximately 3 nautical miles away.
Access & Popularity
Access by car is simple, following well-marked signs to Cala Llamp. Free parking is available near the apartment block, from where visitors descend a stairway to reach the cove. Despite its easy access, Cala Llamp remains lightly visited, offering a peaceful retreat for visitors who enjoy rocky coves, excellent diving conditions, and breathtaking coastal scenery.
