Crashing Waves and a Cliffside Setting
Cala Molins is one of the four coves of Cala Sant Vicenç, set beneath rugged cliffs and bordered by a mix of tourist hotels and residential homes. Divided from Cala Clara by Punta de la Torre—once home to a military fortress—this is the most dynamic and wave-exposed of the group. The north-facing orientation means it often receives strong swells, particularly when the Tramuntana winds blow, churning up the otherwise crystal-clear waters into foaming surf.
Not Ideal for Boats, Perfect for Brave Bathers
Because of the exposed position and seaweed-covered seabed, Cala Molins is not well-suited to anchoring, except in calm weather and with caution. At around 300 metres from the shore, the water reaches about three metres deep, but anchoring is generally discouraged. The beach’s gentle slope and sandy base, however, make it a favourite with swimmers and snorkellers seeking a bit of wave action.
Easy to Reach with Local Amenities
Cala Molins is easily accessible by car or bus, with free parking available nearby or along the village streets. Facilities here include toilets, showers, first aid, and beach rentals, making it well-equipped despite its compact size. As one of the main beaches in Sant Vicenç, it sees heavy footfall in summer, particularly among tourists and families staying in the area.
