Font de sa Cala combines a fine-sand beach with rocky areas for snorkelling and a range of water sports. When choosing a coastal destination, the beach conditions and travel options provide practical guidance. The wider destination of Capdepera complements the beach with culture, architecture and a thriving craft tradition.
Beach and coastal scenery
Sa Font de sa Cala beach is 100 metres long and 60 metres wide. Fine white sand shapes the shoreline, framed by low rocks densely covered with pine forest. The rocky areas are suitable for snorkelling.
Activities and practical information
A range of water sports and a diving club that attracts diving enthusiasts add to what the beach has to offer. The beach also has a lifeguard service, an accessible wooden walkway, and a rental service for hammocks and parasols.
There is a small car park at the beach. Sa Font de sa Cala can also be reached by public transport and a small tourist train, which stops here and at other beaches in the area. You can take these additional stops into account when finding your way around the beach region. As beach and water sports facilities, as well as parking and transport services, may change, check the latest local information before travelling.
Culture in the wider destination of Capdepera
Castell de Capdepera stands on a hill above the town and offers views of Mallorca’s east coast and, on clear days, Menorca. Its construction began in the 14th century at the behest of King Jaume II of Mallorca. The site preserves defensive towers, walls, old cobbled streets and the chapel of Sant Joan, built in the 14th century. The Castell is designated a Bien de Interés Cultural, or an asset of cultural interest.
The Casa del Governador is located within the castle grounds. There, the Col·lecció d'Art Sacre comprises more than 120 religious works of art, from the Romanesque period to contemporary art. The collection is presented to residents and visitors as an open cultural heritage. The Museu de la Llata is also located in the Casa del Governador and is included in the monument visit; check current ticket and opening details before your visit. A later phase of construction is represented by the parish church of Sant Bartomeu in Capdepera: unlike the chapel of Sant Joan, built in the 14th century, it was built in the second half of the 19th century. Its façade is neoclassical, and its bell tower is topped with a dome.
Casal Can Melis, also known as Centre Melis Cursach, was the Melis Cursach pharmacy from 1916 to 1973. In contrast to the pharmacy’s history, which has come to an end, the women of Capdepera still meet to preserve the sa llata weaving tradition and pass it on to younger generations.
