A steep-sided northern cove with a sand and pebble beach, known for Sunday evening drumming at sunset.
Cala Benirràs is a small north-coast bay of sand and pebbles between steep pine-covered hills, with a rock called Es Cap Bernat standing off the cove. It is known for the Sunday evening drumming that gathers visitors for the sunset in summer. The water is clear and the beach is quieter than the west coast in the mornings. Two beach restaurants operate in season. The road down is narrow and parking is limited, so the Alsa P6 line or a taxi is recommended in July and August. The bay faces west, so the sunset sits over the water.
