WHY VISIT CALA ANGUILA MALLORCA?
1. What Makes Cala Anguila Special?
Mallorca is a popular vacation destination for millions of visitors every year and one of the biggest draws are its beaches. What makes Cala Aguila special? Cala Aguila is one of a series of coves, or calas, on Mallorca that are arguably its most identifiable and sought-after “trademark”: the beautiful white sand beaches nestled in beautiful coves and protected by rocky cliffs along this rugged section of the Mallorcan coast.
This beach is located on the eastern side of the island just south of Porto Cristo and directly beside its sister beaches, Cala Mendia and Cala Romantica (click on the links to read more about these other two beaches). Cala Anguila is protected from the open sea, the water is crystal clear and the beach is made of soft white sand. The water is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding and is ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers.

2. How to Get to Cala Anguila
Cala Anguila is only 3km south of Porto Cristo and can be reached easily by car. You can also take a public transit bus (operated by Transports de les Iles Balears) and get off at Porto Cristo. Bus line 401 will take you to the center of town, but for the last 3 km to the beach, you will have to take a taxi. If you are driving to the beach during the high season, make sure to arrive early to be sure of getting a parking spot.
TIP: The island bus company, TIB (click here for routes and schedules), operates a network of bus routes that services major towns, cities, and popular tourist destinations across the island, making this a great option if you want to travel to other locations on the island.
3. Best Activities at Cala Anguila
The most popular activities at Cala Anguila are sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling. The beach is surrounded by rocky cliffs and the water is turquoise with a sandy bottom, perfect for most water activities. And if you are a little more adventurous, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore more of the coastline and the other nearby beaches. If you follow the coastline northward about 300m you will find an impressive cave with amazing acoustics, only accessible by water.
From Cala Anguila you can follow a trail or walk through a residential area to Cala Mendia. From there you can keep going to Cala Romantica, about a km away. At Cala Anguila, there are lifeguard services during the high season and a restaurant right at the beach. More restaurants and stores are just a 400m walk away on the main street in town.
