Caló del Borgit, Small cove in Santanyí, Spain
Caló del Borgit is a small cove in Santanyí located within Mondrago Natural Park on Mallorca's southeast coast. The narrow sandy shore sits between rocky cliffs that create a sheltered, secluded swimming area away from busier beaches.
This cove served as a natural refuge for sailors and fishermen along Mallorca's southeastern coast for centuries. The protective cliffs and natural harbor made it a valued anchorage when small sheltered ports were essential for maritime activity.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in the waters around Caló del Borgit, continuing methods passed down through generations in Santanyí.
Access is via a short walk through a pine forest from the nearest parking area, with no facilities available at the cove itself. Bring water and shade protection, as the exposed location offers little natural cover.
The underwater geology here creates excellent snorkeling conditions where you can easily spot Mediterranean marine life. The calm water between the cliffs combined with good visibility makes it a favored spot for this activity.
