Sun-drenched stones warm beneath your feet. Welcome to Cala del Guix. This isn’t just any beach. It’s a hidden gem tucked between Cala Nova and Cala Major. A small cove really more of a gentle indentation in the coast. Imagine the ancient mariners who first sheltered here. The rocky embrace of the Pujolare cliffs guards it. The point separating it from Cala Nova completes its secluded setting.
Cala del Guix has seen a lot of changes. It’s been transformed. Urbanization has touched its shores. Hotels bars and homes now stand close. They built steps and cemented platforms. Making swimming and resting easier for visitors. You can access it in three ways. There’s a path from Cala Nova. Or you can take stairs from Avenida Joan Miró. Another staircase leads down from Carrer de Margarita Retuerto. Some buildings also offer direct access.
Swimming here can be challenging. The shore is mostly rocky. There is a small patch of sand though. It’s near Cala Nova. It’s not natural sand. About five meters long and ten meters wide. The rocky areas are known as Les Roques de Cala Major. A name whispered by locals for generations. These rocks offer unique diving spots and snorkeling adventures. The clear waters teem with life.
The sun beats down. The warm air smells of salt and sea spray. You feel the coolness of the water against your skin. Listen to the gentle lapping of the waves. Hear the chatter of holidaymakers. The distant city hum blends with the natural sounds. Cala del Guix is more than just sand and sea. It’s a story etched in stone. A story of ancient sailors hidden coves and modern tourism. A place to relax swim and appreciate its beauty.
