Description
Cala Mendia (or Mandia) is a small sandy area located in the municipality of Manacor, about 3 km from Porto Cristo. It is a beach of fine white sand about 70m long and about 110m wide. The cove itself is flanked by two cliffs that make it practically a natural pool with usually clean waters and an intense turquoise color. Sometimes the winds bring seaweed and remains of marine vegetation that can make the sand a bit dirty but usually accumulate on the sides of the cove.
It is a very suitable beach to go with the family, due to the calm of its waters and the gentle slope of sand
Sometimes the winds bring algae and remnants of marine vegetation that can make the sand a bit dirty, but they tend to accumulate on the sides of the cove.
The outskirts of the cove are quite urbanized, in fact it is located on the north side of the Cala Romántica complex, but in Cala Mendia itself there are no large constructions. However, the proximity of Cala Romántica and the ease of access means that during the summer months it can register some saturation.
Following the coast to the north you can reach, both on foot and by swimming, the neighboring Cala Anguila, and crossing the urbanization of Cala Romántica, towards the south, to s’Estany den Mas.

From Manacor we can take the Ma-4015 road to Cala Romántica, or the Ma-4020 to Porto Cristo Novo.
