A Quiet Cove with Natural Charm
Tucked beneath the small hillside village of Llucalcari—whose name translates to “house of the forest”—this secluded rocky cove offers a natural escape just north of Sóller. It’s known for its large smooth stones, gravel, and the gentle freshwater spring that seeps into the earth beside a fig tree, creating natural clay-rich mud often used by visitors for DIY spa baths.
Sea Views & Hidden Caves
While the clear waters are perfect for a dip, the northern winds and emerging rocks make this cove unsafe for anchoring. Just off the northeast coast is sa Cova Fosca, a dramatic sea cave with panoramic Mediterranean views that can only be seen from the water. If you're looking to explore by boat, the nearest harbour is Port de Sóller, located 3.2 nautical miles away.
Remote Access & Nudist-Friendly
The beach is accessed on foot, with a peaceful 300-metre walk through a landscape of pine, olive, and carob trees. Parking is roadside, and the path winds past a charming local hotel. Due to its tranquil and untouched nature, nudism is common here, and the beach remains a favourite for those seeking serenity away from the crowds.
