Cala Binissafúller and the water
Cala Binissafúller lies next to the settlement of Binissafúller and is 55 m long and 30 m wide. Its water is clear and shallow, with sand and Posidonia seagrass meadows beneath the surface. Illot de Binissafúller is visible from the shoreline.
The swimming area, marked off with buoys, is suitable for water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. As sea conditions can vary seasonally, check conditions and equipment availability in advance.
Sections of the Camí de Cavalls

The distance and rating answer different planning questions: the kilometre figure describes the route’s length, while the rating indicates its character. Check the latest route information before setting out.
On Stage 18, hikers use a footpath and share a 523 m section with cyclists; the path then descends to Platja Binissafúller. Stage 17 ends in Binissafúller at the start of Avenida Platja Binissafúller.
Fishing harbour and coastal heritage
Stage 18 passes a small fishing harbour. Old fishermen’s huts with whitewashed walls and turquoise doors stand in front of the harbour. The Caseta de vorera fishermen’s huts in Binissafúller are arranged around a rocky promontory near Illots de Binissafúller and Sa Barca and were used for fishing.
Talayotic settlement and history
The Talayotic settlement of Binissafullet preserves a Taula enclosure, several talayots, a hypostyle hall and a number of dwellings. The settlement was used from the 10th century BC, particularly in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC; it may have remained inhabited until the Muslim period.
The central talayot is circular, 15 m in diameter and 2.8 m high. The eastern hypostyle hall retains part of its roof, supported by three large pillars. The Taula enclosure was restored in 1992 and returned to its original location.
Punic amphorae and animal bones were found near a hearth during excavations. They may point to a ritual in the 4th or 3rd century BC involving animals and agriculture. The protected area of the settlement was definitively delimited in 2004. Talaia de Binissafúller is also listed as a cultural asset of special interest in the municipality of Sant Lluís.
