A Small Coastal Gem Below the Cliffs
El Maressar, also known as Punta de sa Torre, lies between Cala Molins and Cala Clara and is part of the greater Cala Sant Vicenç bay, which also includes Cala Carbó and Cala Barques. The setting is backed by the striking Serra de Cavall Bernat, with sheer cliffs rising over 300 metres, and overlooked by Talaia Vella. This small beach features pebbles, low rocky cliffs, and bare coastal terrain, giving it a wild, raw charm and exceptional panoramic views.
Exposed Waters & Limited Shelter
Marine conditions here can be treacherous in strong winds, especially from the north, northeast, and east, as the open bay funnels swell toward the coast. The underwater landscape includes reefs and steep drop-offs, making it risky for inexperienced boaters but appealing to divers in calm conditions. Despite being designated as an anchoring zone, anchoring is only recommended in favourable weather.
Easy to Reach, Yet Peacefully Uncrowded
El Maressar is right next to the village of Cala Sant Vicenç, making it easily accessible by car or public transport. There’s a free parking area nearby, and the beach is only a short walk from the bus stop. Despite this convenience, the beach remains lightly visited, offering a quiet alternative to its more popular neighbours while still enjoying the same majestic coastal backdrop.
