Sa Punta Galera

Place overview

Sa Punta Galera is a flat sloping rock formation near Sant Antoni de Portmany that has become one of the west coast's most photographed sunset spots. Its smooth stepped surface lets visitors sit right at the water's edge without any sand at all. The rock slopes gently into the sea making it a good spot for swimming as well as watching the sunset later in the day. No facilities exist here so visitors bring their own shade food and drink for a full afternoon. Crowds build steadily through the late afternoon as sunset approaches with visitors spreading out across the wide flat rock to find their own spot. Its open west facing position gives an uninterrupted view of the sun going down over the water. For anyone chasing the island's famous sunsets away from the busier beach clubs Sa Punta Galera is one of the best free alternatives on the west coast.
