La Calobra beach, Shingle beach in Sa Calobra, Spain
La Calobra beach is a narrow shingle cove with fine sand nestled between tall limestone cliffs at the end of the Torrent de Pareis gorge. A mountain stream flows directly into the sea here, creating a sheltered and isolated spot surrounded by dramatic rock faces.
The winding road reaching this cove was constructed in 1933 using traditional methods through rugged mountain terrain without modern machinery. This engineering feat opened access to one of Mallorca's most remote coastal locations.
The cove serves as a natural gathering spot where visitors experience the meeting of a freshwater stream and the sea within towering rock walls. This geological setting has made it a meaningful destination for people seeking nature and solitude away from crowded places.
Arriving early is advisable since the small cove fills quickly, especially on weekends and during peak season. Getting there requires driving through narrow, winding mountain roads or taking a boat from nearby ports, so plan for time and comfort needs accordingly.
The approach to the beach passes through a tunnel carved directly into the rock face, which opens dramatically onto the cove. This hidden passage combined with the meeting of fresh mountain water and seawater creates a memorable arrival experience.
