Cala Serena, Beach in Cala Serena, Felanitx, Spain
Cala Serena is a small semi-urban white-sand beach in the village of Cala Serena, in Felanitx, Mallorca. The cove is about 50 metres long and 15 metres wide, enclosed by low vertical cliffs riddled with many grottoes and backed by a Mediterranean coastal pine wood. Hotels, apartments and private houses stand around the bay, among them the Hotel Robinson and the Serena Sol.
The beach became part of Mallorca's Mediterranean coast during the tourism boom of the 1960s. It managed to stay relatively undeveloped compared to many other nearby coastal areas that transformed rapidly during that period.
Cala Serena is a semi-urban beach whose users are almost all guests of the adjoining hotels, notably the Hotel Robinson and the Serena Sol. Even in summer the sand sees little occupation, so bathers share the cove with few others.
Access by road is easy; private cars can park in a free car park about 400 metres from the beach. The last stretch runs between the village houses and then down a set of stairs to the sand.
Small rock pools form between the stone outcrops when the tide goes out, creating natural basins to explore. These tidal pools offer an unexpected discovery for visitors who want to examine sea life and rock formations up close.
