Description

Cala Agulla is a beach of sand and rocks located in the northeast of Mallorca, in municipality of Capdepera and very close to the urban center of Cala Ratjada.

With 520m in length and about 50m in width it is the largest sandy area in the municipality.

Its sand is white and fine, alternating with some areas of rocks, and the waters are clean and crystal clear. As a curiosity, depending on how the wind blows the beach can increase or decrease its width by up to 10 m: if it blows from the west, the beach widens, and if it blows from the east, it narrows. It is located within a Natural Area of ​​Special Interest, which has limited the urbanization of the environment, keeping it virtually virgin.

Cala Agulla
In Cala Agulla we can find good shade among the pine forests that surround it

The waters are usually very calm and there is not much depth, so it is very suitable to go with small children.

However, being oriented to the north, sometimes a strong wind can rise, so you have to be attentive to weather conditions and respect the instructions of the lifeguards.

It is surrounded by pine trees so if you get tired of the water you can enjoy a walk in nature in the shade. To the north is Cala Moltó, a rock cove smaller than Cala Agulla, but quieter, and where you can practice nudism.

In the central summer months (July and August) it can be somewhat saturated with tourists, especially Germans staying in Cala Ratjada

So if you are looking for some tranquility it is better to enjoy Cala Agulla in early or late summer. September and October are still good months to visit this beach.
