Cala Mesquida
07589 Capdepera, Balearic Islands, Spain
Cala Mesquida is a wide, natural sandy beach on Mallorca’s north‑east coast near Capdepera, backed by dunes and pine woodland. It offers clear, blue water for swimming on calm days and reliable wind for surfing and bodyboarding when breezes pick up.
What Makes It Special
The beach is framed by a dramatic system of shifting sand dunes and a protected coastal landscape, giving it a wild, photogenic character and a stronger nature‑reserve feeling than many developed Mallorcan shores.
Insider Tips
Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds and find parking more easily; bring a windproof layer (it can be breezy), check for seasonal lifeguards and flag warnings before swimming, and explore the short dune trails at each end for quieter coves and better views.
