Cala Llombards

Who is it for?

• Photographers

Less suitable for

• Late arrivals in summer who have no patience for parking stress

Character of the beach

The cove lies deep between rock walls, so it is usually calm even when it is windy. From the small car park behind the beach the sand is reached on the level; from the upper parking area a flight of steps leads down, which is impractical with a pushchair. In the afternoon, shade moves across the beach from the west side – an advantage over open sandy beaches with no shade.

Beach and water

Surface: fine sand, length approx. 55 m, beach depth approx. 150 m. Getting into the water: gentle entry, calm waves. Typical crowds: very busy in high summer. Best time of day: morning.

Facilities

Food and drink: chiringuito (beach bar). Toilets: seasonal. Showers: seasonal. Sunloungers: available. Changing rooms: none. Shade: parasols. Lifeguards: seasonal.

Getting there and parking

Parking: free car park. Walk of about 1 minute. Parking situation: difficult. There is no bus service. The beach can also be reached from the water.

Families and accessibility

The entry into the water is suitable for families with children. Accessibility: limited (no designated step-free access). Dogs: no. Nudism: no.

Snorkelling and water sports

Snorkelling is worthwhile along the rocky edges. SUP and paddling are possible. Available on site: SUP.

Food and drink on the beach

Directly above the cove there is a simple beach kiosk with drinks and snacks in the summer season, but that is no guarantee that anything will be open. If you want a proper meal, drive the few kilometres to Santanyí or to the neighbouring village of Es Llombards – there you will find cafés, tapas bars and Mallorcan cuisine all year round. So for a full day at the beach, bring water and food with you.

Safety and particular risks

Cove cut deep into the rock. Car park directly in the sandy bed behind it.

Watch out in particular for: the car park suddenly fills up from 10:00 am.
