Why Visit Cala Mesquida Beach in Mallorca!

1. Cala Mesquida Beach

Cala Mesquida is an excellent destination if you want to explore the more natural and undeveloped side of Mallorca. It is a small town directly on the northeast Mediterranean coast and is within the boundaries of the large regional parc, “Parc Natural de la Peninsula de Llevant”. There are several beautiful sand beaches nearby with crystal clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The surrounding park forests are mostly made up of pine trees with trails leading in every direction and ideal for hiking. This is a less crowded part of the island and is great for relaxing and just taking it easy.

2. Top Things to Do at Cala Mesquida Beach

In the village of Cala Mesquida, you have the namesake beach which is made up of soft white sand and aqua blue waters. The beach is about 300 long and about 60m wide, providing lots of room to spread out and relax. The beach has a relatively gentle slope making it a great place for families with children.

During the summer, the waters are great for windsurfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, the equipment being available for rent directly on the beach.The beach is just a short walk from local accommodations, restaurants, and cafes, and directly on the beach, you will find various amenities such as a restaurant, a snack bar, washrooms, and lifeguards.

From Cala Mesquida, there are trails heading in all directions throughout the park. These trails are ideal for hiking whether you’re an experienced hiker or just a beginner. The trails will lead you through sand dunes, and pine forests, along the coastline, and past several old ruins ranging from medieval to prehistoric structures.

Make sure to pack a towel and swimsuit for your hikes because there are a few other beaches along the way. In fact, only a km west of Cala Mesquida are Cala Mitjana and Cala Torta, both of which are white sand beaches with a nice little beach bar and washrooms. These beaches are a little more out of the way but definitely worth the walk.

If you are a little more motivated, you can head southeast across the peninsula and follow one of the main trails leading directly to Cala Agulla roughly 2.5km away. The beach is right next to the town of Cala Ratjada. Both the beach and the town are worth exploring.
