Cove of the Dead

Information

Calo Des Mort is a stunning, compact beach located in Formentera, celebrated for its crystal-clear waters and fine sand, all surrounded by rocky cliffs. The environment offers breathtaking panoramic views that attract many visitors. However, it is important to note that access can be challenging; the descent to the beach is steep, and there are some safety concerns due to potential rock falls. Due to these factors, it is not recommended for families with small children or individuals with reduced mobility.

Highlights of Calo Des Mort include:

  • Beautiful scenery: The beach boasts picturesque views and pristine water ideal for snorkeling and observing vibrant marine life.
  • Ideal for early visits: To secure a spot on the beach, it is advisable to arrive early, especially during the peak season when it can become quite crowded.
  • Access instructions: Visitors should park near Hotel Riu La Mola and walk approximately 10-15 minutes to reach the beach.

Be aware that while Calo Des Mort is magnificent and often deemed a 'paradise', it has faced issues with overcrowding, particularly in summer months. Respecting the natural environment and safety regulations is pivotal for everyone's enjoyment.

Positive experience: Very small, barely 20 people can fit in tightly, the access is dangerous, there are certainly many prettier spots in Formentera.

Fantastic experience: You have to park at the hotel that is there, then walk to the place, it is not accessible for people with reduced mobility or those who are not agile, you have to go down to the cove with a rope, for me it is my favorite beach for snorkeling, although be careful because some fish nip at you haha.

Negative experience: On July 26, 2024, Calo Des Mort is closed due to safety reasons. You can see this only when you come to the last road you need to take to get to this beach. To find this place on Google Maps, you need to type Hotel Riu La Mola and then there is a road just straight ahead. It is forbidden to park any vehicle on that road. We parked on the street before this hotel and then started our 13-minute walk. It is a shame they didn’t put the sign somewhere earlier that the beach is closed so we don’t have to walk all the way. But even if you manage to get to this ‘beach’, I’m not sure what is pretty here. It is very small, full of stones, with very little space for a swim. I just don’t think this beach is worth visiting at all.

Fantastic experience: Small beach/rocky area, with crystal clear water, very beautiful, a bit inconvenient if you are on the rocks, depending on the flow of people there is, if you want there is a sandy part for those who do not want to stay on the rocks... it is reached by walking but you have to take a dirt road for about 20 minutes, you cannot go by car or scooter.. (there are some parking lots near the hotel) to reach the beach once you have taken the dirt road there is a slope that takes you directly there.

Fantastic experience: It's a very beautiful cove. There is little sandy area, but there is space on the rocks. It is true that there is a lot of movement of people, as the norm is to go for a dip and leave. You usually park near the hotel and have to walk a dirt path, which takes no more than 10 minutes. I have been there several times and will go back when I can.

Fantastic experience: For me, it's one of my favorite beaches in Formentera. Ideal for snorkeling and seeing a wide variety of fish that come to look for you and surround you in the water. To access it, you need to wear appropriate footwear as there is a steep slope to go down. Crystal clear turquoise waters and super transparent white sand. It's a tiny cove. I recommend going early because it fills up quickly and then it’s quite complicated. To reach this cove, you have to walk a bit, but it's totally worth it.

Fantastic experience: “Es Caló des Mort no es una playa, es un suspiro entre rocas. Pequeña, escondida y con ese encanto que no necesita filtros. Si llegas temprano, te recibe con calma y agua cristalina que parece de otro planeta. Si llegas tarde… también, pero prepárate para compartir rincón con unos cuantos más. Es una cala para ir ligero: mochila, toalla, algo de agua y ya. Aquí no hay chiringuito, ni duchas, ni sombra... pero tampoco hace falta. Te tumbas sobre la roca caliente, te metes al agua como si fuera una bañera de sal y sol, y te olvidas del mundo un rato. Ideal para fotos, chapuzones sin ruido y siestas con brisa. No es playa de paso, es de intención: bajas, te quedas y, si puedes, no cuentas a nadie que estuviste. Un lugar para disfrutar en silencio, como los secretos buenos.”

Fantastic experience: La spiaggia più bella di Formentera … sabbia fine con alcuni punti di rocce e se si vuole anche attrezzata … chiringhito sulla spiaggia e ristorante ( non il massimo ) ma questa costa vale rimanere tutta la giornata fino al tramonto …

Derek Matthewman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's an amazing beach. Best to enter via Chiringuito Bartolo. Easier to walk across that way. Take the lower path and it is easier to get down to the beach. It is still very hard. Not suitable for elderly or kids. The old stairs look super dangerous, but there is a rope there. This is a quiet beach. Not suitable for bat and ball or noisy kids.

Fantastic experience: Caló des Morts (Formentera) Una cala pequeñita y Preciosa, hay que ir pronto porque se llena más que El Corte Inglés en rebajas!! Aguas cristalinas con peces nadando a tu lado. Le falta un chiringuito, aunque se puede ir x la línea de playa al chiringuito de Bartolo y traer refrescos. No hay para tirar basuras, por lo que hay que llevarse una bolsita para dejar todo limpio. Hemos disfrutado de esta cala, a pesar de que a mi las playas me horrorizan. Esta me fascinó

Fantastic experience: This place is a wonder, but now access is forbidden. When we arrived, there was a sign saying it was prohibited to go down due to the risk of landslides, and people didn’t care; they had knocked down the net and went down to swim. I find it disrespectful and illogical when it’s done for our safety. Please, let’s respect this, respect the cove, and collaborate in its care as a natural paradise. If you’re going to travel, respect the signs and don’t forget it’s for your safety.

Silvia Santalmassi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Spectacular cove but very small, so you might only find a spot on the fairly flat rocks to stay. The cove is always packed with fish (mainly bogue); if you bring some bread, you will practically be immersed in an aquarium. You walk from Es Cupiná, always following a rocky path parallel to the sea. Be careful when descending on the iron spikes left where there are no steps, and with flip-flops, your foot can slip... so either go barefoot or wear sneakers or water shoes. In high season, until the end of September, there is almost always someone making good mojitos, even non-alcoholic ones; for the rest, bring water and food.

Positive experience: Stunning cove south of Formentera, a glimpse of paradise, crystal clear water with lots of fish to admire. It's a shame that since it's small it fills up quickly and you can't enjoy the right relaxation. To get there, there is a steep and rugged staircase.

Positive experience: A very beautiful cove that can be reached by paddle surfing since walking or driving can be complicated depending on the time of year due to the number of people. It's nice, but there are beaches along the same coastline that are more accessible and more beautiful.

Fantastic experience: For me, this is one of the most beautiful coves in Formentera. The water is completely crystal clear and the surrounding cliffs create a spectacular atmosphere. The fisherman's cottages look very nice and the marine life I saw while snorkeling was amazing. There are no shadows.

Fantastic experience: Pequeña cala de aguas cristalinas donde puedes sacar a relucir tus gafas de buceo. En temporada alta conviene ir o pronto o tarde. Se llena rápido.

Carlota Martínez 5 years ago

Positive experience: La cala es preciosa, pero está llena de gente. Se llena tanto, que hay que pasar a otra zona donde el color del agua ya no es tan impresionante. Al mediodía se vacía y se puede disfrutar más de ella y de los peces que la habitan. Muy recomendable llevarse las gafas de buceo.

Fantastic experience: Aguas cristalinas, limpias y alejada de la zona de las algas Posidonia que rodean la zona de Migjorn. Nombrosas calas hasta llegar al caló des mort. Si hya mucha gente, recomiendo ir a alguna de las calas de al lado o recorrer la zona en kayak para una mejor aproximación. No hay mucha dificultad para llegar andando, hay que aparcar a 1-2km aproximadamente.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove to visit. To get there you have to park your car or scooter about 10 minutes away on foot. (You can't park near the cove) but it's just a short walk. (It's worth it) you arrive at a breathtaking view and from there you go down among the rocks (if you have flip-flops, take it easy) once down, there are small coves where you can choose where to settle. Spectacular water and colors. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic experience: April 2024: one of the most beautiful in Formentera (when the wind is coming from the opposite direction), you park on the road where it is (Platja des Copinyar) and then there is a path above for about 10 minutes, or along the coast which is tougher. When you arrive, you go down but with effort (there is a rope anyway), the small beach is very sheltered even in case of wind, the water is super crystal clear and clean. The beach also has nudists; we have been there both with a so-so sky and with a nice sun and wind.

Positive experience: Great cove. Crystal clear waters. Complicated access for elderly people or children. I recommend going around 9 to be able to be calm and take a spot, since the piece of beach is small. There is a large number of fish in the water. Magical environment and ideal to disconnect. Highly recommend 100%.

Fantastic experience: This small cove has become one of the most famous in Formentera for its beauty and tranquility. However, in the middle of summer, the large influx will make this place not exactly a haven of peace, and another aspect to consider is the access, which is somewhat complicated.

The fisherman's cottages look very nice and the marine life I saw while snorkeling was amazing. There are no shadows.

Fantastic experience: For me, it's one of my favorite beaches in Formentera. Ideal for snorkeling and seeing a wide variety of fish that come to look for you and surround you in the water. To access it, you need to wear appropriate footwear as there is a steep slope to go down. Crystal clear turquoise waters and super transparent white sand. It's a tiny cove. I recommend going early because it fills up quickly and then it’s quite complicated. To reach this cove, you have to walk a bit, but it's totally worth it.

Positive experience: Very beautiful. It's great for snorkeling, you can tell it's very touristy because it's quite dirty. It's a shame that people don't respect nature.

Positive experience: It's a small and tranquil cove, with few people and spectacular water. To access the cove, there is a final stretch that must be descended through a complicated area, not recommended for people with reduced mobility or elderly individuals.

Fantastic experience: Parking is 800 meters walking along an asphalt road. Careful descent to the cove and good shoes are required, but it's worth it. Crystal clear water, fantastic for snorkeling. You need to go early because it is very small.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt one of the best coves we have been to in Formentera. Crystal-clear water, zero jellyfish, if you like snorkeling you will enjoy because you see thousands of fish among the rocks, incredible atmosphere. There are many Italian tourists because you have the Riu hotel behind.

Fantastic experience: Difficult to reach and park by car, better to go by motorcycle; it's a cove with little sand but with incredible waters.

Positive experience: A very beautiful cove that can be reached by paddle surfing since walking or driving can be complicated depending on the time of year due to the number of people. It's nice, but there are beaches along the same coastline that are more accessible and more beautiful.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful rocky cove. It is very small and there is little sand space, but it is lovely, its waters are crystal clear and it's worth visiting and taking a swim. However, it is 0 accessible. You have to climb down the rocks to get to it. You cannot park nearby, you have to leave the car and walk about 10 minutes.

Fantastic experience: One of the most iconic beach in Formentera. It really worth! Just be careful because you need to park at least 800mt far away (there is no parking nearby).

Fantastic experience: It's an amazing beach. Best to enter via Chiringuito Bartolo. Easier to walk across that way. Take the lower path and it is easier to get down to the beach. It is still very hard. Not suitable for elderly or kids. The old stairs look super dangerous, but there is a rope there. This is a quiet beach. Not suitable for bat and ball or noisy kids.

Fantastic experience: beautiful beach, its kinda hard to get there as you have to climb down the rocks, but it is worth it, the beach itself is not very big so go soon in the morning or late in the evening

Fantastic experience: One of the best places , but it is a little beach and it could be filled already early in the morning. 5 stars for the place but 0 in case you suffer high density of people . During my stay I used swimming away far to the main beach snorkeling around. Color of Water is fantastic.

Positive experience: The beach itself is extremely beautiful however because it is so small, it can get easily crowded. I definitely dont recommend this to anyone who has trouble walking, as the name should imply, the walk down is deadly. We had a fantastic time and were able to enjoy the beautiful water. Make sure you are able to bring some sort of umbrella, as there is very little shaded area.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach! You need to park at the begging of the street and walk untill there as you are not allowed to leave your car or motorcycle next to the beach. You still can go there to leave passangers but not allowed to park. Small street so if you coming in busy time be careful to face another car coming from other direction.

Fantastic experience: Great onboarding place for North African refugees that just crossed the Mediterranean sea. The island offers great clubs and bars to celebrate the arrival and EU citizenship.

Positive experience: Small beach with great photo opportunities. You can walk to get to this location from the closest town or drive down the unpaved road. If driving be aware there is no parking along the route and limited spaces once at the beach.

Negative experience: It is a very beautiful spot, but unfortunately the secret is out and due to its tiny size, the Cala gets very busy from very early and for me it looses its charm. I rather go anywhere else on the island where Ill have space to at least put a towel down. Having said this, the water is beautiful and snorkeling good, and although this is a harsh rating, It is so crowded that i find it pointless to visit it.
