Cala Mendia, White sand beach in Manacor, Spain.
Cala Mendia is a sandy beach on Mallorca's eastern coast measuring about 80 meters long and 120 meters wide with fine white sand. Natural limestone cliffs frame the cove, creating a sheltered setting along the shoreline.
The cove maintained its natural coastal shape for centuries before becoming part of tourism development along Mallorca's eastern shore in the 1960s. Since then, it has grown into a regular destination for swimmers and beachgoers.
The beach draws crowds during summer months, and locals use it as a gathering spot for swimming and leisurely afternoons by the water. The sheltered cove setting makes it feel like a natural meeting place for the community.
The beach provides showers, restrooms, and lounge chair rentals for those wanting to stay longer comfortably. A beachside restaurant is available if you need refreshments during your visit.
The waters here form natural swimming pools between the rock formations in the cove. On calm days, you can actually swim across to the neighboring Cala Anguila if you are comfortable in the water.
