Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Sant Esteve is a tiny urban cove, barely 20 metres long and 5 metres wide, formed by gravel and situated in front of a semi-urban frontage. It lies south of the centre of Es Castell and has high occupancy, while the waves are moderate. Most visitors arrive by anchoring their boats, although it can also be reached on foot or by car. The setting forms part of the ANEI and offers cleaning, litter bins and an anchorage area.
