Cala Tuent, Cove and olive sand beach in Escorca, Mallorca, Spain.
Cala Tuent stretches approximately 590 feet (180 meters) along the shoreline and measures about 180 feet (55 meters) wide, featuring a mix of sand, pebbles, and coarse gravel beneath the slopes of Puig Major, the highest peak in the Balearic Islands.
The cove served for centuries as a traditional fishing spot for local fishermen, and its remote location helped preserve its authentic character while limiting commercial development throughout the years.
The beach lies within the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where conservation efforts aim to protect the natural environment while nearby landmarks like the Sanctuary of Lluc reflect the area's historical heritage.
Visitors can reach the beach by driving along a winding mountain road from Sóller or the Sanctuary of Lluc, with parking available nearby, though limited facilities mean bringing water and food is essential.
The seabed consists of gravel and rocks at depths ranging from 20 to 26 feet (six to eight meters), making the waters unsuitable for boat anchoring but interesting for careful snorkeling exploration.
