Sa Calobra
07315 Escorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Sa Calobra is a dramatic pebble cove on Mallorca’s north‑west coast in the Escorca municipality, where towering limestone cliffs and a narrow gorge meet crystal‑clear Mediterranean water; it’s best known as a scenic arrival point for those driving the winding mountain road or coming by boat, with limited facilities (a café and parking) and excellent swimming and snorkelling close to the headlands.
What Makes It Special
The spot is defined by the Torrent de Pareis — a spectacular, photogenic gorge that plunges into the sea and forms a sheltered inlet, creating a dramatic landscape of sheer cliffs and a narrow beach unique on the island.
Insider Tips
Aim to arrive early (before 10:00) or later in the afternoon to avoid peak crowds, consider taking a seasonal boat instead of the steep, twisting road if you prefer a relaxed approach, and bring water shoes and sun protection because the beach is pebbly and shade is limited.
