Cala Llenya

Place overview

Cala Llenya is a sheltered sandy bay on the east coast a short drive from Santa Eulalia. Pine trees run almost to the waterline and the shape of the cove keeps the sea calm even when the wind is up elsewhere on the island. The beach has a relaxed low key feel with a couple of simple chiringuitos rather than any beach club scene. Shallow water close to shore makes it a popular choice for families with young children. A gentle path along the headland connects Cala Llenya to neighbouring Cala Nova for anyone who fancies a short walk between coves. Both beaches share the same easy going character rather than competing for attention. For residents in the east of the island Cala Llenya tends to become a regular spot precisely because it never gets the crowds that the more famous beaches attract.
