Cala Moreia, Beach in Manacor, Spain.
Cala Moreia is a sandy beach on Mallorca's eastern coastline with clear waters and multiple access points from nearby parking areas. The cove stretches along the Mediterranean shore close to Cala Millor.
The beach transformed from a traditional fishing spot into a recreational destination during Mallorca's tourism development in the 1960s. This shift shaped the modern infrastructure of the coastal area.
The name Cala Moreia means "moray eel bay" in Catalan, referring to the eels once caught in these waters. The beach lies in S'Illot, a resort split between Manacor and Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. The small rocky island of s'Illot, just 24 metres offshore, gave the village its name.
The beach offers showers, restrooms, lifeguard services, and multiple entrance points with good parking availability. Conditions suit visitors of all ability levels.
The footbridge carrying the Camí de la Mar promenade over the Torrent de Ca n'Amer is a man-made structure, not a natural one; it marks the boundary between Manacor and Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. Beneath and west of it lies a roughly 300-metre brackish pond. About 100 metres inland from the coast, the talayotic settlement of S'Illot was excavated.
