Cala Bona: Fishing Harbor, Beaches and Coastal Route

Cala Bona Between Harbor and Coast

Cala Bona is a coastal resort directly bordering Cala Millor. Port de Cala Bona is a small fishing harbor that has preserved its traditional charm. Together with Playa Cala Bona and the coastal route, it shapes the town’s maritime character. This gives you several options when planning your trip: the beach, the harbor, or a tour along the coast.

Beaches and Finding Your Way by the Sea

Playa Cala Bona comprises three beaches separated by breakwaters; the sandy beach is about 340 meters long. The water at Playa Cala Bona is calm and shallow. The breakwaters divide the shoreline, while the approximate length gives you a sense of the sandy beach as a whole. The beach’s layout and water conditions are therefore two distinct aspects to consider when finding your way by the sea.

Cala Bona beach has access ramps and paths with colored side markings to assist people with visual impairments. As these features may change, check their current condition locally before your trip. Beach facilities include lifeguard service, sun loungers, and parasols; their availability may vary seasonally. If any of these facilities are important to you, check in advance whether they will be available on the date of your visit.

The Coastal Route

The coastal route starts at the Cala Bona tourist information office and ends at Platja Sa Marjal (Costa de los Pinos). It is 3.28 kilometers long, takes about one hour, and is rated easy. The route has a cumulative ascent of 1 meter and a cumulative descent of 8 meters. As it is not a circular route, the start and end points are in different places. Check locally for any route changes before setting out.

It follows the cycle path toward Costa dels Pins, runs along Cala Bona’s seafront promenade, and continues along Camí de Sa Punta. It then passes Port Vell beach and follows the coast to Sa Marjal beach. This makes it possible to understand the tour not only by its length, but also by the sequence of coastal stretches.

History and Season

The area of Playa Cala Bona once provided shelter for fishing boats and was developed from the 1960s onward. This sequence of events highlights the difference between the area’s earlier use and its later development. In winter, Cala Bona invites you to enjoy long walks by the sea. Another way to explore the coast is the non-circular route starting at the tourist information office and ending at Sa Marjal; it is listed as taking about one hour.
