Platja Monte de Oro
This
beach is located between Punta des Castellot and sa Punta des Gats, about 8
kilometres from Calvia, on the south west coast of the island of Mallorca. It mainly consists of natural gravel, does
not have much sand and is about 15 metres long and 4 metres wide. It is bordered by some medium high cliffs and
some of the tourist accommodation can be seen from the beach. This small sea inlet can be exposed to the
wind from the south west and west and there is little room for anchoring
boats. There is a bus stop nearby or you
can follow the signs for Santa Ponca, and then calle Palmeres where there is a
free parking area. It is mostly used by
the local people from the area, not often crowded and is next to Cala Blanca or
Costa de la Calma as it is locally known.
