A Pebbled Cove with Old-World Character
Named after the stones and pebbles that line its shore, Sa Pedruscada offers a refreshing contrast to the busy sands of nearby resorts. The beach is surrounded by small traditional houses rather than hotels, and features an old stone jetty, giving it the appearance of an informal fishing harbour. While not ideal for sunbathing, its rocky character makes it a great spot for snorkelling or launching a small boat.
For Snorkellers, Not Anchors
Though boats dot the area, anchoring is nearly impossible due to the shallow, rocky seabed. However, the beach's calm, clear waters and scattered sandbanks make it perfect for underwater exploration. Larger vessels should aim for Club Nàutic Cala Ratjada, just 1 nautical mile away.
Quiet, Accessible & Close to Cala Ratjada
Getting here by car can be a bit tricky with multiple turnoffs near sa Font de sa Cala, but parking is possible nearby. Alternatively, a bus stop is just 100 metres away, and you can also walk from Son Moll via the scenic seaside promenade. Due to its peaceful atmosphere and simple setting, Sa Pedruscada remains a quiet favourite among locals.
