A wide sand beach on the east coast with open water, pine woods and a relaxed feel.
Cala Nova is a wide, open sand beach on the east coast, north of Es Canar, with pine woods behind and a long expanse of clear water. A beach bar and sunbed hire operate in season. Because it faces east, mornings are bright and the water can be livelier on windy days. The beach is calmer than the party beaches in the south and larger than the neighbouring coves, and the Alsa P10 line links it with Santa Eulària. It is a good alternative when other east-coast beaches are crowded.
