Macarelleta

Fantastic experience: Fantastic little beach, just a few minutes from the Macarella beach. Macarella beach can be reached in 15-20 minutes from Cala Galdana depending on footwear, level of fitness and how hot it is. The path is like a dried up river bed, very uneven with lots of rocks and roots to avoid. Path from Macarella to Macaralleta is quite steep in places, with steps cut into the rock face. Wear good footwear. Had a sunrise dip here. As the bay is east facing it gets the morning sun first. Seabed is sandy and gently sloping. Super place for a dip (although something else swimming in the cove stung me!) so do be warned!

Fantastic experience: Amazing beautiful little beach! Not easy to get to if you’re not fully mobile (from our direction anyway) We parked about a kilometer away to the north in a large free car park! Walk down to a beach bar then access the first beach and up n over via a very uneven ground to get to the smaller beach! But it was soooo worth it! The water was cold but being British this didn’t bother us. I was able to climb the rocks and dive in a few times which was very fun The were jellyfish in the area ( on a few & mostly the safer ones but there was a couple pelagia noctiluca which can sting pretty bad) But it was all fine no issues! Great swimming and bathing! Got there early and it was almost empty but started to fill up quite a bit by 12ish we left around 1pm walked back to the bar restaurant on the next beach on to the car stopping for a pizza and a beer which was also pretty good! The kilometer walk back up hill to the car wasn’t too bad as it was shaded by the trees! The road however ( I am told closes in the hight is summer ) was very narrow and some drivers were a bit rubbish at slowing down and moving over!! Apparently there is a bus from the city I think which may suit some but not me! A moped would be great to get here I think best! Overall a really nice beach!

Fantastic experience: Incredibly Beautiful. Much more than in the pictures on the internet. The route from Cala Galdana to Cala Macarella and Macarelleta is super beautiful. In fact, halfway there you have a 'photocall' with a movie-like background.

Positive experience: Pleasantly beautiful and paradise-like beach, a victim of its success... Go very early in the morning or late in the evening, access from Cala GALDANA as parking is inaccessible.

Positive experience: Cala Macarelleta is a small jewel of crystal-clear waters and white sand, perfect for those looking for a paradise beach. However, due to its beauty, it tends to fill up quickly, which can make it difficult to find a quiet space to relax. Access requires a walk from Macarella, which, although pleasant, may not be ideal on hot days. Despite this, the views and the feeling of being in an almost untouched natural corner make the visit worthwhile, as long as you arrive early or outside of peak season.

Negative experience: Not worth the hype. Small, overcrowded, dirty water and nothing like the pictures that you find on the internet. Plus the way to get there is not for everyone, the soil has considerable unevenness and stones.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with a small area to relax, be careful when there are a lot of people! The sand is white and the water is very clear! Nestled between the rocks, it offers a particularly beautiful view of the open sea. From up high it is even more beautiful!

Fantastic experience: Superb beach! Beautiful beach with white sand and turquoise water, a true little paradise. It is easy to access, about 35 to 40 minutes of walking to get there, but it's really worth it!

Fantastic experience: Otra playa visualmente de 10 . Paradisíaca, aguas tranquilas, transparente. No tiene chiringuito. Un placer visual. Bañarse aquí es un lujo.

Fantastic experience: Hasta ahora es mi cala favorita. El acceso por el Camí de Cavalls le da un encanto especial; se puede llegar desde Turqueta o desde Macarella, bordeando las rocas o por el bosque. Fuimos muy temprano y la disfrutamos vacía, aunque más tarde se llena mucho, por lo que recomiendo llegar antes de las 8. No hay servicios de comida o bebida, así que conviene llevar provisiones. Es ideal para hacer snorkel y se puede nadar hasta Macarella rodeando las piedras. Para mí, ¡la más hermosa de todas!

Fantastic experience: Nos gustó mucho. Están llenas de gente tanto esta como la macarella pero al menos ésta cala no estaba llena de algas. Llegamos a través del kayak y estuvimos haciendo snorkel. Muy chulo.

Negative experience: Sicuramente bella ma in una stagione diversa dall' estate. Sovraffollata. Raggiungibile con un bellissimo sentiero. No infradito!

Fantastic experience: ATTENZIONE: Cala Macarella e Macarelleta non sono accessibili in auto per tutta l'estate 2025 ... quindi, se volete visitare queste cale, sappiate che vi aspettano 30/40 minuti di cammino, sotto al sole, partendo da Cala Galdana (o in alternativa prendendo un bus dalla Ciutadella che vi porta direttamente in spiaggia a Macarella). Spoiler: all'arrivo a Macarella troverete un bar molto ben fornito con la possibilità di pranzare, cenare e farsi addirittura la doccia pertanto portatevi solo lo stretto necessario se non volete appesantirvi nel viaggio. Detto ciò cala Macarelleta merita molto di più di cala Macarella e questo perché l'acqua è totalmente diversa. Le foto e i video da me allegati si riferiscono alla prima settimane di luglio. Consiglio comunque di andare presto sia perché non c'è praticamente ombra da nessuna parte (pertanto attrezzatevi!) sia perché la spiaggia verrà saturata molto velocemente essendo circa di 200 metri. Un bagno qui è molto consigliato.
