Platja d'en Ballesta, Mediterranean beach in Cadaqués, Spain.

Platja d'en Ballesta is a small beach on the Costa Brava coast made up of coarse sand mixed with pebbles and backed by rocky cliffs. The cove opens directly to the sea, offering views of the rugged shoreline typical of this stretch of northeastern Spain.

The name Ballesta comes from the surname of a former local rector who owned a nearby vineyard, and the beach is also called s'Alqueria Petita after the small bay of Racó des Moro it shares with s'Alqueria Gran. It lies about 2 km from the centre of Cadaqués, north of Portlligat, in a barely built-up stretch of coast.
