Cala Murta, Secluded beach in Formentor Peninsula, Mallorca, Spain
Cala Murta is a small sandy beach on the northern coast of the Formentor Peninsula, sheltered by tall limestone cliffs and Mediterranean pine forests. The beach stretches about 80 meters across a protected bay that shields it from strong winds.
The beach formed part of traditional fishing routes connecting northern villages during early 20th-century maritime trade. This maritime heritage still shapes the area through the local fishing practices that continue today.
Local fishermen continue their centuries-old practice of catching fish using traditional Mediterranean methods from small wooden boats in the morning hours.
You need to walk about 25 minutes from the Cala Figuera parking area on the MA-2210 road to reach this place. Bring your own water and supplies since there are no shops or services here.
Marine life concentrates in the natural rock pools created by underwater formations, offering visitors remarkable opportunities to watch fish and other sea creatures up close. This abundance of life in the shallow waters sets the place apart from most other beaches in the area.
