Cala Agulla, Sandy beach in Capdepera, Spain.
Cala Agulla is a beach in Capdepera with fine sand that stretches about 520 meters long and about 50 meters wide. The shoreline is framed by natural rock formations that give the beach its distinctive appearance.
The beach was originally a modest fishing harbor before becoming a popular leisure destination during the 1960s tourism boom. The island's tourism development transformed the area into a well-known bathing site.
The name comes from the Arabic word "agulla," reflecting the island's historical ties to North Africa. This linguistic heritage remains visible today in local place names and the architectural style of nearby villages.
The beach has parking nearby and basic facilities including restrooms and first aid services. Visiting is possible year-round, though the warmer months from June through September are most popular.
The beach is surrounded by pine forests on three sides, which provide natural wind protection for the area. This green setting makes the place pleasant even on windy days and sets it apart from many other coastal destinations.
