Cala Sa Nau, Beach cove in Felanitx, Spain.
Cala Sa Nau is a small cove on Mallorca's southeastern coast with fine white sand and clear Mediterranean water. The beach stretches roughly 45 meters along the shore and is framed by rocky cliffs, creating a natural and sheltered swimming area.
The inlet has served as a natural harbor for local fishing communities since ancient times. Its protected location made it valuable for early settlements along Mallorca's eastern coast.
The cove attracts visitors seeking a quieter escape from busier beaches, where the natural setting feels intimate and uncrowded. People gather here to swim, explore the rocks, and simply spend time by the water without the commotion of larger resort areas.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and a lifeguard on duty during summer months. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent, and a short walk through a pine forest leads down from the car park to the sand.
The sea bed drops off steeply just beyond the shoreline, making it easy for snorkelers to spot fish and marine life within a few meters of the beach. This unusual depth change means you do not need to swim far to see underwater activity.
