Cala Varques, Sand beach and nude beach in Manacor, Spain
Description
Cala Varques is a narrow sand beach on Mallorca's eastern coast framed by tall limestone cliffs and pine forests. The cove stretches roughly 70 meters and divides naturally into two informal sections for different types of visitors.
History
The cove began as a fishing spot for local families before becoming a bathing destination over time. Authorities removed a beach bar to manage visitor numbers and protect the environment.
Culture
The cove accommodates two distinct visitor groups that naturally respect their separate areas without formal barriers. This informal division reflects how the place has evolved to welcome different preferences in a balanced way.
Practical
Access requires a roughly 2 kilometer walk on a rocky path from nearby Cala Romantica. There are no facilities on-site, so visitors need to bring water, snacks, and personal supplies.
Did you know?
The seafloor holds several submerged caves, including Cuevas del Pirata and Cova des Coloms, which attract experienced divers and cave explorers. These underwater chambers offer a glimpse into the geological formations beneath the surface.
