Cala Pilota, Secluded cove in Manacor, Spain.
Cala Pilota is a small cove in Manacor with light-colored sand measuring roughly 30 meters in length and 25 meters across. It is framed by limestone cliffs and coastal plants that create a sheltered setting.
The cove became a recognized beach destination from the mid-1900s onward as coastal tourism in Mallorca expanded. Its designation as a clothing-optional beach came later as alternative beach practices took hold in the area.
The beach serves visitors interested in clothing-optional swimming, a practice that has been part of Spanish Mediterranean coastal culture for many years. This use has given the place a distinct character separate from more mainstream tourist beaches in the area.
Access involves a moderate walk from Manacor and the cove has no facilities on-site. Visitors should bring their own water, food, and sun protection as there are no shops or amenities available.
The cove is known for its limestone formations that create small caves and underwater passages worth exploring. These geological features make swimming and marine exploration there particularly engaging.
