This beach is pretty good and has the added convenience of parking and two bar-restaurants. However, the route to the parking lot may not be suitable for all vehicles or drivers, so exercise caution. Additionally, if you're arriving by boat, there's a taxi service available for passengers disembarking right in front of the beach.

The beach is perfect, but the last kilometer of the road leading to it is barely passable.

After a brief hike over some rocky terrain (be sure to wear appropriate shoes), you'll reach a smaller and more private beach located to the south of Plage de Cala d'Orzo. I had the entire beach to myself for the day, and it was absolutely idyllic. The water was crystal clear, making it perfect for snorkeling, and the sand was lovely. However, the drive down to Cala d'Orzo can be quite dusty and bumpy, so be prepared for a slow journey, even if you're driving a 50-year-old car like I was.
