Cala Barques

Cala Barques is a sandy beach with white sand sections bordered by rocks along the Pollenca coast. The water is clear and shallow near the shore, stretching about 85 meters (280 feet) across the cove.

Ancient trade routes near Cala Barques led to the discovery of a Greek shipwreck from the 5th century BC in the surrounding waters. These maritime traces show that the coast has been an important crossing point for thousands of years.

The beach is part of a traditional fishing village where local restaurants serve fresh seafood caught daily by fishermen from the area. Life here revolves around the close connection between the sea and the people who work and live here.

The beach offers changing rooms, showers, and sun lounger rentals along with lifeguard services during the summer season. Water temperatures are pleasantly warm, especially in the summer months for swimming.

The spot connects to the s'Alzinaret necropolis, where prehistoric caves contain archaeological remains from ancient Mediterranean cultures. This hidden history makes the area a place where you can reflect on thousands of years of human settlement.
