Here there are several picturesque bars and restaurants in what was an old fishing village. The water is very shallow for at least 10 metres from the beach making it ideal for small children.

CALA MESQUIDA: This is a beautiful unspoilt cove with parking behind the beach which can be tricky at peak times. The slightly coarse sand leads to the sea which dips quickly to deep water making bathing not ideal for very small children. No facilities but the nearby village has a small supermarket, bar and restaurant. Popular with locals at the weekend, this beach is historically important as French troops disembarked on its shores with the aim of taking over the island.
