Cala Major
Avinguda de Joan Miró, 279, 07015 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain
Cala Major is a compact, easily reached sandy cove just west of Palma city centre, with a palm-lined promenade, a small pier and a handful of cafés and sunbed rentals; facilities include showers and toilets but access involves steps and is limited for wheelchair users.
What Makes It Special
The beach combines fine sand with rocky headlands close by, offering clear water and excellent snorkelling right off the pier and along the rocks — you can spot colourful fish without travelling far from Palma.
Insider Tips
Aim for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the peak summer crowds and secure a free spot; bring water shoes for the rocky stretches and a light wrap for cooler breezes after sunset.
