Quiet Inlet with Pine-Backed Shores

Caló d'en Pellicer sits quietly at the end of a narrow, elongated u-shaped sea inlet right beside the lively resort of Santa Ponça. Despite its proximity to the busier main beach, this small cove remains relatively peaceful, offering fine golden sand framed by medium-height rocky cliffs and a lovely backdrop of pine trees and tamarisks that conceal the nearby residential developments.

Its intimate setting and calmer atmosphere make it a popular spot for local residents seeking a tranquil escape from the busier resort beaches.

Boating & Anchoring

Caló d'en Pellicer provides some of the best anchoring conditions in the entire Santa Ponça bay, thanks to its sheltered position. The sandy seabed with scattered seaweed offers safe holding, with depths ranging from 2 to 4 metres. The cove is naturally protected from strong south, southeast and east winds, making it a reliable and calm anchorage. Full marina services are conveniently located nearby at Club Nàutic Santa Ponça.

Access & Popularity

Reaching the beach is easy, with clear signage leading to Santa Ponça’s Avenida Rei Jaume I, followed by several pedestrian pathways down to the shore. Free parking is available nearby, and public buses stop directly in front of one of the pedestrian entrances. Thanks to its sheltered location and small size, Caló d'en Pellicer remains a quiet favourite among locals, even during peak season.
