Beach brilliance
On the quieter side of Cala Ratjada, you'll find Cala Agulla beach. Boasting white sand and crystal-clear waters, it’s primed for families with younger tots in tow. Son Moll beach is the main spot in front of the town’s promenade or Cala Gat is a quaint cove at the opposite end if you’re looking for a more intimate setting.
