A wide, shallow sandy bay with pine woods, a beach club and watersports on the west coast.
Cala Bassa is a wide bay on the west coast with fine sand, shallow water and pine trees behind the beach for shade. A beach club and restaurants operate in season, and watersports and boat trips leave from the sand. The gentle slope suits families, though the beach is crowded on summer weekends. The bay faces west, so the afternoon is bright and the sunsets are good. The Alsa P5 line runs from Sant Antoni in season, and the coastal path leads over the headland to Cala Comte.
