What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Caló des Pou is praised for its stunningly clear blue waters, unique palm tree ambiance, and suitability for snorkeling. Visitors appreciate its intimate size and the option to jump from rocks, making it a memorable spot for families and couples. However, some note that amenities can be limited outside peak season, and occasional debris on the sand is a minor drawback.
"Small cove beach, clear blue water, not too busy. Went late April so the restaurant wasn’t open and there were no loungers or umbrellas there. Toilets were also closed. Parking available, bus stop nearby. Well worth the visit."
Sophie Rose
"A beautiful beach with stunning views. Bring your own beach towel/parasol to avoid the sunbed charges. Ice-creams are very expensive - go to Parad'ice down the road instead!"
Melanie Byron
"Beautiful blue transparent water, good for snorkelling (lots of small fish in the water). The sand is not too fine like on the nearby beaches so it doesn't make the water muddy. But there is often lots of garbage on the surface (mostly natural, but still). Lots of different positive people, families with kids; pretty rare occasions of representatives of some aggressive countries. Rather busy in the middle of the day, but you can find space closer to water after 5-6 PM. There is a shower at the top (would be nice to have more of them, and dedicated ones for feet), and free toilets.
So high busyness and garbage on the surface are main cons, hence 4*."
