A Spacious Cove with Brilliant Turquoise Tones
Cala Mendia opens into a 150-metre-deep sea inlet, embraced by limestone cliffs that shelter this wide, fine white sandy beach. Its shallow gradient, clear waters, and vibrant blue-green hues make it a favourite among swimmers, families, and snorkellers alike.
A Hub of Tourism with Coastal Links
This stretch of beach, along with neighbouring Cala Romàntica, has grown into a lively tourist hub, flanked by hotels, restaurants, and facilities. For those keen on exploring, a short coastal swim or walk around the rocky headland leads to Cala Anguila, or you can venture inland toward the village of Son Macià and Puig de sa Bandera.
Anchoring & Access
Anchoring is ideal here thanks to the sandy seabed and gradually sloping depths: 4m at 150m offshore, 2.7m at 100m, and just 1m at 50m. The nearest port is Port de Portocristo, just 2.2 nautical miles away. Access by car is easy, with a free parking area nearby, and the beach is fully equipped for comfortable day visits.
