Platja Cala Guix
Platja Cala Guix, Avinguda de Joan Miró, 317, Ponent, 07015 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain
Platja Cala Guix is a small, sheltered urban cove on Palma’s Ponent coast, located off Avinguda de Joan Miró. It has a mainly rocky/pebble shoreline and clear, calm water, making it a quieter alternative to the larger city beaches and well suited to short swims and snorkelling close to shore.
What Makes It Special
The compact, rocky seabed and sheltered waters give it excellent visibility for snorkelling and spotting local marine life, while its modest size provides a more secluded, local atmosphere despite being within easy reach of central Palma.
Insider Tips
Bring beach shoes and your own shade and water, as the shore is rocky and facilities are limited — note that there is no wheelchair access. Arrive early for the best spot and, if you want cafés or restaurants, stroll along Avinguda de Joan Miró towards the nearby marina area.
