Cala Ratjada: Beaches and coastal paths at Mallorca’s easternmost point

Cala Ratjada lies at the foot of the headland of the same name, at Mallorca’s easternmost point. The beach and coastal descriptions offer several specific starting points for planning your trip: Son Moll is the town beach in the heart of the resort, Cala Agulla is nearby, and the coastal paths lead to various named destinations. If you’re looking for a hotel in Cala Ratjada, you can first consider whether you’d like to focus your stay on a beach or a particular coastal route. This way, you can plan around your destination and the features that matter most to you personally.

Beaches in different locations

Son Moll is a town beach in the heart of Cala Ratjada. It is about 140 m long and 55 m wide; its beach profile includes white sand and clear water. Cala Agulla is nearby and is 600 m long. Here, sandy and rocky areas meet clear, shallow water. Cala Agulla is considerably longer than Son Moll. The beaches also differ in location: Son Moll is in the heart of the resort, while Cala Agulla is nearby. Their shorelines also offer different features—from the white sand at Son Moll to the sandy and rocky areas at Cala Agulla. When comparing the beaches, you can consider their locations, the stated dimensions and the nature of the shoreline.

Coastal paths with distinct landmarks

The Paseo de Ses Pites runs south of Son Moll and connects the beach with the bay of N’Aguait. The path follows the sea and crosses the bay of Sa Pedruscada. Son Moll and N’Aguait mark the connection, while Sa Pedruscada is crossed along the way. The Paseo is therefore a coastal route between named points, distinct from routes that lead to a lighthouse or a tower.

A mountain biking route starts at Cala Ratjada’s fishing harbor, passes Cala Gat beach and climbs along the rocky coast to the lighthouse. Its start at the harbor, the section through Cala Gat and the ascent give the route a clear sequence. Another coastal route near Cala Ratjada follows a narrow path through a wooded area to the 16th-century Torre Esbucada and then on to the Capdepera lighthouse. The wooded section and historic tower give this route different landmarks from the mountain biking trail along the rocky coast. When comparing the paths for your plans, you can use the specifically named mountain biking route, the narrow woodland path or the connection between the beach and the bay as points of reference.
