What it is like
Not a beach. Flat rock ledges stepping down into deep water, with no sand and no facilities. People come here to dive: two scuttled wrecks sit offshore and the shore entry is straightforward, which is unusual.
The wind
South-facing, so a nofsinhar or a xlokk makes the entry dangerous over the rock. In a tramuntana it is flat.
If you are not diving
The swimming is good in calm weather but the entry is over rock and there is no shade whatsoever. Bring shoes.
