Tranquil Beach on the Costa dels Pins
Cala sa Marjal is the widest beach in the bay of Son Servera, offering a peaceful retreat within the lesser-developed stretch of Costa dels Pins. This beach, with its fine greyish sand, owes its colour to the abundant organic remains of posidonia, giving the shore a natural and slightly wild feel. Set against the backdrop of a large pine forest, it provides both shade and scenic beauty.
Popular with Families – Local & Tourist Alike
Despite its quiet charm, Cala sa Marjal is well-frequented during summer months, particularly by families. The gentle slope of the shore and the flat access make it ideal for visitors of all ages. The presence of first aid services, restaurants, and tourist mini-trains makes it easily accessible and family-friendly.
Safe Anchoring with Calm Conditions
Boats can anchor comfortably just offshore when winds blow from the fourth quadrant (NW–NE). The seabed is a mix of sand and stones, with depths ranging between two and four metres. The nearby Cala Bona marina supports all nautical services for skippers visiting this scenic corner of the east coast.
