Cala l'Almunia, White sand beach in Santanyí, Spain.
Cala l'Almunia is a small cove in Santanyí whose beach, Es Maquer, is about 10 metres long and 30 metres wide, framed by low flat rock ledges and scattered boulders. The sand area varies in size, and seagrass can wash up on the shore. A single white boat often floats in the clear turquoise water of the inlet.
The nearby fishing community developed in the 1950s when local residents built small stone structures along the waterfront. These buildings served to store boats and show the traditional use of the cove by fishermen.
The beach has a clothing-optional section that reflects common Mediterranean practices along Spanish coasts. Visitors will notice a relaxed approach to different beach traditions here.
Park free at the lot on the Cala Llombards road, about 100 metres before the resort; only residents may drive down to the cove. The signed walk from there takes around 25 minutes. A staircase of 120 steps descends southwest from Carrer des Caló des Moro to the shore.
The cove shares access paths with two neighboring coves, Marquer and Moro, which connect into a network of three swimming spots. These linked paths allow visitors to explore multiple beaches in one visit.
