Platja des Coll Baix, Shingle beach in Alcúdia, Spain.
Platja des Coll Baix is a shingle beach on Mallorca's northern coast measuring about 220 meters long and 50 meters wide. High limestone cliffs and Mediterranean pine forests border the shore, which transitions from sandy areas to pebbly sections.
The beach has remained isolated from modern development for many years, preserving its natural state since Mallorca's northern coastline took its current shape. This remoteness has protected it from significant changes.
Local residents participate in traditional fishing practices along the rocky sections of the beach, maintaining connections to regional maritime customs.
The beach has no facilities, so bring your own water, snacks, and sun protection. Access involves a steep 30-minute descent on a challenging path, so wear comfortable hiking shoes.
Water deepens quickly near the shore, creating natural rock pools that attract small marine creatures. These rocky pools offer interesting spots for exploring the underwater world.
