Description

The beach of Cala Comte is a small sandy beach with several small coves near by. The beach has shallow clear blue and turquoise water which is kept that way by the constant flow of sea currents in the area.[2] From the beach there are views of the small islands of S’Espartar Illa des Bosc and Sa Conillera.[3][3] The beach to the western side of the rocky headland is popular with families, whilst the beach to the eastern side is an unofficial nudist spot.

Facilities

Located on the crown of the small headland, there is a restaurant[4] and shop along with toilet facilities. From the headland there are views across to several small islands. During the summer months the beach is patrolled by lifeguards. Behind the headland on the cliff tops there is a car park which becomes extremely busy in the summer.

Blue Flag

In 2010 Cala Conte was one of the fifteen beaches on the island to have been awarded a prestigious Blue Flag.
