Cala Benirrás

The beach's defining character comes from its bohemian community and sunset ritual. Local musicians gather with drums as the sun falls, drawing crowds for the social scene. Beyond the crowds, scramble up the left side behind the boat shacks to reach the rocks and cliffs—the views from above are remarkable, though the path demands care. The water is exceptionally clear, making it ideal for swimming.

• Free parking is plentiful, though the beach fills up quickly at sunset.
• Crowds swell considerably at sunset—the more popular days offer little space to sit.
• Drum circles appear most days at sunset, but check locally to confirm they're happening when you visit.
• The beach is open 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Arrive by car—parking sits near the beach entrance. From the car park, descend to the beach, where bars and restaurants mark the start of the shore. To reach the cliffs and rocks on the left for sunset views, climb the stairs behind the boat shacks at the beach level and follow the path upward. The walk is not strenuous, but exposed parts can feel precarious.

Better: Early morning and late afternoon for a quieter experience and to secure parking easily. If you want to catch the sunset, arrive early to claim a spot, as the beach becomes packed as evening approaches. Avoid: Peak summer hours and sunset time if you prefer solitude, as the crowd can overwhelm the small cove.
