Cala Gat

Cala Gat is situated next to sa Torre Cega at two kilometres from Capdepera. The village was built in the seventies of the 20th century. Now there are some holiday houses and a small hotel.

Sa Torre Cega was a fortress to alert from the Moor pirate attacks in the 16th century. In 1911 it became the Palau d'en March, which can be visited. The rich March family made of this tower a museum-house, with an exceptional collection of 40 sculptures and a botanical garden (60.000 sqm).

This beach is a small quiet and beautiful sandy area, surrounded by tamarisks and small palm trees, with a transparent water that invites you to swim.The nearest port facilities are located at Club Nàutic Cala Ratjada, at 0,4 nautical miles.

You can park your private car for free in the surroundings. You can also reach this beach on foot, on a pleasant walk from the port of Cala Ratjada.

These characteristics and the accessibility explain that the beach is very crowded by local visitors.
