BeachCala Gracioneta
A small sandy cove next to Cala Gració near Sant Antoni, among pine and juniper trees. With a beach restaurant, sunloungers and a lifeguard in summer.
What makes Cala Gració special
Golden sand, a fringe of pine and juniper trees and, on one side, a row of boathouses: that’s Cala Gració. The cove is about 1.5 km from Sant Antoni, in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany. It’s the larger of two neighbouring coves; right next to it is the smaller Cala Gracioneta.
The water here is usually calm. According to Sant Antoni’s tourism office, the beach is about 70 m long. Under the water, sand, rocks and seagrass (Posidonia) alternate, and the island of Sa Conillera sits on the horizon.
Facilities
Sant Antoni town council and Turespaña list these facilities:
- a lifeguard in summer
- a beach bar
- sunloungers and pedalos for hire
- a beach volleyball court
- toilets and showers
- accessible for people with reduced mobility
The hire services and the lifeguard operate in the summer season.
Getting there and parking
You can walk to Cala Gració from Sant Antoni. The town council has a 6.2 km walking route that starts and finishes at Caló des Moro. It passes Cala Gració, Cala Gracioneta and the Cap Negret viewpoint.
In 2026, bus route P1 runs from Sant Antoni via Cala Gració to Cap Negret. By car or taxi, take the Carretera de Cala Gració.
Parking nearby is limited, and Turespaña describes the beach as busy. So in July and August, arrive early, or take the bus or walk.

Nearby
On the road to Cala Gració is the Aquarium Cap Blanc, in a natural cave formerly known as Sa Cova de ses Llagostes. All kinds of sea creatures live in its tanks and in an inner lake of about 300 m². You’ll find opening hours and prices on the aquarium’s website.
Tips for your visit
- Bring a snorkel set and swim along the rocks to Cala Gracioneta; the two coves are right next to each other.
- Bring a hat and sun cream.
- Combine your beach day with the Aquarium Cap Blanc or the walk to Cap Negret.
Safety
- There’s only a lifeguard in summer. At other times of year, it’s best not to swim alone.
- If you snorkel along the rocks, keep an eye out for pedalos and boats in the bay.
- The rocks on either side can be slippery and sharp; water shoes help.
