A stunning beach awaits if you take the scenic route from the Aparcament Favàritx car park - a 2.6km trek that can be shortened by hopping on the bus for the first kilometer. The path is surprisingly easy to traverse, even without the proper footwear. But the best part is the reward that awaits at the end - a blissful beach experience!

The beach had nice, clear water, but it was quite crowded. It was a 30-minute walk to get there, so I'm not sure if it was worth it. There was some nudist space at the end, though.

This beach is alright, I suppose. It's a long 3K walk from the parking at Favaritx, but at least it's something to do. The beach itself isn't anything special, but I guess it's worth the trek.

If you're looking for a tranquil spot to soak up some sun and take a dip in the sea, you'll be glad you made the trek to this beach. It's a bit of a hike from the parking lot, but it's worth it for the crystal clear waters and peaceful atmosphere.
