Anchoring

12 spots on sand

A small sand-and-rock cove of about 100 m at the eastern end of Migjorn, at the foot of the La Mola sandstone cliffs, with fishermen's boathouses (escars) on one side and pine woods around. Turquoise, crystal-clear water over rock and sand, and a wide view of the south coast; it is one of the few shelters for small boats along this stretch. There are no facilities at all, and the cliff path down is at risk of rockfalls.

Anchoring

Arena suggests 12 spots to anchor on sand, clear of Posidonia; the closest to the meadow is 170 m away.

Approximate depth: 1.2–6.6 m (EMODnet bathymetry).

Anchoring on Posidonia is forbidden: the app shows the meadow on the map and warns you if the anchor would land on it.
