Beaches and bays in Mallorca

Caló des Màrmols ('little marble bay'), in Castilian Cala Mármols , is a bay in the southeast of the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca . It is located on the coast of the municipality of Santanyí, southwest of the town of Cala Llombards in the direction of Cap de ses Salines , the southern cape of Mallorca.

Location and description

The Caló des Màrmols is located 3.7 kilometers southwest of the settlement of S'Almunia or S'Almonia , part of the town of Cala Llombards. The capital of the municipality Santanyí is 7.4 kilometers northeast of the bay, the next larger town Es Llombards 5.6 kilometers north. The hinterland of the Caló des Màrmols forms the property ( Catalan possesió ) Rafal des Porcs . The bay is bounded in the southwest by the Punta des Màrmols and in the northeast by the area of sa Dent . It stretches about 200 meters to the northwest into the interior of the island.

On the northwest side of Caló des Màrmols there is a sandy beach about 40 meters long and 18 meters wide . It is framed by the steep coast and is interspersed with larger rocks. The size of the sand area varies and is flooded when the waves are strong. Seagrass deposits can occur on the shore . On the steep bank and behind the beach, a few pines and shrubbery grow into the rock cut that was washed out by the Torrent des Màrmols, which flows into the bay and rarely carries water.

Access

Follow the MA-6110 road, which starts between Es Llombards and Ses Salines , to the Cap de ses Salines at the southernmost point of Mallorca. Behind the area of ​​the lighthouse begins an approximately 5.5 kilometers long coastal footpath to the northeast. Hiking guides show a running time of around 1½ hours.
