Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Cala Estreta is a tiny, isolated cove of golden sand, only 34 metres long and 16 metres wide, surrounded by vegetation. Its difficult access and the possibility of anchoring pleasure craft account for much of its character, together with the waters described in the listing. Arrival is on foot via an access route classified as easy, although the general description stresses the difficulty of access; both formulations are therefore retained without resolving the discrepancy. As an additional distinctive feature, a fishermen’s hut houses a small municipal library.
