Turquoise water, small islets and white sand on the west coast, famous for its sunsets.
Platges de Comte, usually called Cala Comte, is a group of sandy coves on the west coast with clear turquoise water, small rocky islets just offshore and views toward the sunset. It is one of the island's most photographed beaches, with a beach club at the south end and a calm swimming area. The water is clear enough for snorkelling around the islets. It is crowded at sunset in July and August, when the car park fills and the road is busy. The Alsa P4 line from Sant Antoni runs in season, and walking paths link the beach with Cala Bassa to the north along the coast.
