Cala Estreta, Olive sand beach in Artà, Spain.
Cala Estreta is a small cove on the eastern coast of Artà measuring approximately 40 meters long and 20 meters wide. The shoreline combines fine sand and pebbles, creating a compact inlet surrounded by rocky outcrops.
The cove developed through natural coastal erosion and the persistent action of Mediterranean currents over millennia. These geological processes gradually shaped the rocky shoreline that defines the site today.
Local people value this spot as a place where the natural coast remains unspoiled, and visitors who find it tend to respect its quiet character. The small number of people coming here reinforces a shared sense of protection for the shoreline.
Access to the beach runs through marked trails from the MA-15 road, with parking available at the entrance area. The easiest approach is during spring or autumn when conditions are mild and the site is less crowded.
Few visitors know this spot as a place for snorkeling and diving where clear water and shallow reefs become easily visible. The underwater rock formations create natural pathways for exploration beneath the surface.
