Cala Tarida

Place overview

Cala Tarida is a wide sandy bay on the west coast known for calmer water than many of the island's more dramatic rocky coves. Its size and gentle slope into the sea make it a popular choice for families. A row of restaurants and beach bars runs along the back of the sand offering everything from simple snacks to full sit down lunches. Sunbeds and umbrellas are widely available for anyone who prefers not to bring their own. The bay faces west which gives it decent sunset views without the crowds that gather at the more famous spots slightly further along the coast. Shallow water extends a good distance out making it comfortable for younger swimmers. For residents and visitors wanting an easy going beach day Cala Tarida remains one of the west coast's most dependable choices.
