Cala Esmeralda, Mediterranean beach in Santanyí, Spain

Cala Esmeralda, formerly Caló d'es Corrals, is a semi-urban white-sand beach in Cala d'Or, in the municipality of Santanyí. The cove measures about 50 metres wide and 150 metres long, and hotels and apartment buildings stand around it. Its seabed lies four to five metres down and consists of sand and algae.

The cove was formerly called Caló d'es Corrals, as recorded in its Catalan name. It lies in Cala d'Or, in the municipality of Santanyí, and grew into a semi-urban beach as hotels were built around the bay, among them the Hotel Cala Esmeralda, Esmeralda Park and Cala Azul.

The beach was long known as Caló d'es Corrals before taking the name Cala Esmeralda from the green-to-blue tones of its water. Its white sand and shallow, sandy-and-algae seabed, 4 to 5 metres deep, are what visitors notice first.

The beach has showers, waste bins, and regular cleaning to keep the area tidy. A parking area is available nearby, though it can fill quickly during peak summer months.

The cove was formerly called Caló d'es Corrals, and its seabed lies four to five metres down, made of sand and algae. That shallow, mixed bottom is what lets bathers and small boats share the inlet: the underwater conditions are suitable for anchoring.
