Caló des Moro (Map)

Next to the wide sandy beach Es Arenal in the harbor basin, which is mainly used for sunbathing, the tiny Caló des Moro is the second city beach of San Antonio. Notable is the nearby Aquarium Cap Blanc. In a natural cave, separated from the sea by a grid, you can observe various fish.

Cala Gració y Cala Grassioneta (Map)

A little further north, easily accessible with a pleasant walk along the coast from San Antonio, are the small Cala Gració and directly next to it, the even smaller Cala Grassioneta. The way along the road is shorter but less scenic. You arrive at two lovely, well-maintained sandy beaches, which, however, become completely overcrowded in the high season due to the nearby holiday resorts and hotels.

Punta de sa Galera

For a long time, the headland jutting into the sea in the shape of a galley was a secret tip for those looking for a quiet bathing spot even in the high season. However, the tip became too popular and is no longer a secret: now, large groups of insiders and outsiders gather on the smooth rock plateaus. The landscape has remained untouched; there are neither hotels nor beach shacks. There is also no sand. From San Antonio, head towards Can Germà, turn off towards Cala Salada, and after about 300 meters, turn left again.

Cala Salada (Map)

A picturesque, deep cove with two small sandy beaches, separated by a rock plateau. The water is shallow at the beginning, where seaweed and stones are hidden. A restaurant, a beach shack, and a row of old fishermen’s huts frame the main beach. If you're lucky and not too many recreational boaters anchor there, the water is crystal clear, and the rocks are ideal for snorkeling.

Ses Fontanelles

Less suitable for swimming, but perfect for walking, is a trip to Ses Fontanelles. If you start on foot from Cala Salada towards the north, you will have quite a long, yet very beautiful hike ahead of you. However, you can drive the first part of the route by car. At the bottom of the cove, where the asphalt road sharply turns left to the sandy beach, you’ll see a field path branching off to the right, which winds around Puig des Cocons. Follow this path until you reach a fork. To the left, you can follow the coastal path back to Cala Salada, and to the right, the path continues to the 256-meter-high Cap Nunó. We continue to the right and soon reach a red sign pointing to the Cova des Vi. From here, you can only continue on foot. Descend towards the sea, and you’ll reach the Cova des Vi at mid-level. It is protected by a grid because archaeologists discovered prehistoric paintings on the walls, which, however, are difficult for the layperson to see. The breathtaking view is well worth the walk. The path continues down to a larger cave right by the sea, with impressive multicolored rocks. It is difficult to enter the water due to the many cliffs.

Cala d'Albarca

The cove with high cliffs opening to the north is still unspoiled nature. No buildings disturb the landscape. The steep path, about 1 km long, down to the sea is not marked and is hard to find. The short beach sometimes has some sand washed up, but usually, you will only find pebbles. The return journey is particularly strenuous. This is a place for adventurous souls. To the east of Cala d'Albarca, on Cap des Rubio, runs the municipal boundary with San Juan.
