Torrent de Pareis beach, Golden sand beach in Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca, Spain.
Torrent de Pareis beach is a small sandy beach in the Serra de Tramuntana area on Mallorca's coast, framed by steep limestone cliffs. The beach sits where two canyons meet the shore, defined by these dramatic rock walls that tower above the sand.
The area formed over thousands of years through water erosion that shaped the canyon system stretching from the mountains to the sea. This natural process carved out the steep rock walls and wide valley floor that hikers cross today.
The beach marks the end of a popular hiking route through Torrent de Pareis canyon and sits within a UNESCO World Heritage area. Visitors experience how this coastal spot connects outdoor adventure with the natural landscape.
The beach is best reached during early morning hours when parking near Sa Calobra village is available. The path includes a tunnel that is lit, but wear sturdy shoes and expect uneven terrain on the walk there.
Water flowing here comes from underground springs in the mountains and mixes with the sea in a visible contrast of colors. This freshwater appearing in the middle of the sea creates a rare sight that visitors encounter at few other places.
