Cala Gracioneta

What makes Cala Gracioneta special

You can walk from Sant Antoni to Cala Gracioneta, a small cove just north of the town centre. It’s in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany and sits right next to Cala Gració, but is smaller and narrower. The little beach has fine sand and is surrounded by pine and juniper trees.

Under the water you’ll find sand, rocks and meadows of seagrass (Posidonia). The two coves are so close together that you can swim or snorkel from one to the other. In the distance lies the island of Sa Conillera.

Facilities

For such a small cove, there are quite a few facilities. Sant Antoni’s tourism office lists:

• a beach restaurant
• sunloungers for hire
• a lifeguard in summer
• a stop on bus route P1

The beach restaurant has the same name as the cove and its own page on the map. If you’d like to eat there, check beforehand whether you need to book.

At the very least, you’ll find public toilets and showers at neighbouring Cala Gració.

Getting there and parking

You can walk from the centre, come by car or taxi, or take the bus. In 2026, route P1 runs from Sant Antoni via Cala Gració to Cap Negret.

If you enjoy walking, follow the town council’s walking route: a 6.2 km loop from Caló des Moro. Along the way you pass the Aquarium Cap Blanc, Cala Gració, Cala Gracioneta and the Cap Negret viewpoint.

Parking near the cove is limited, especially in high season. Get there early, or leave the car behind and take the bus.

Tips for your visit

• Bring a snorkel set and swim along the rocks to Cala Gració.
• Combine the cove with a walk to the Cap Negret viewpoint, the end of bus route P1.
• Bring a hat and sun cream, even if you hire a sunlounger.
• If you want more room on the sand, walk over to the larger Cala Gració next door.

Safety in and around the water

• There’s only a lifeguard in summer. Outside the season, it’s best not to swim alone.
• If you snorkel over to Cala Gració, watch out for pedalos and boats in and around the coves.
• The rocks along the edges can be slippery and sharp.
• If you’re arriving in your own boat, don’t anchor over seagrass. In Spanish Mediterranean waters this is prohibited; only the designated buoys may be used.
