Na Ferradura, Mediterranean beach in Artà, Spain
Na Ferradura is a beach on the northern coast of Mallorca that stretches about 130 meters along the shoreline and is surrounded by rocks and natural rock formations. The water is clear here and the surroundings appear largely untouched.
This beach developed over long periods through natural erosion and geographic processes that shaped the coast as it appears today. Its remote location has helped keep it largely unchanged over time.
Local fishermen work the shore in early morning hours, keeping alive traditions passed down through generations in this region. How the place is used reveals the deep connection between coastal residents and the sea.
The beach has no facilities such as restrooms, showers, or food services, so visitors need to bring everything they might need. Access is through a narrow path that requires some care, especially when carrying beach equipment.
The name Ferradura refers to the horseshoe or crescent shape that the beach forms when viewed from above. This natural curve creates a sheltered cove where the water tends to stay calmer.
