What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Caló des Monjo is praised for its stunningly clear turquoise waters, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Visitors appreciate the beautiful coastal scenery and the natural, unspoiled atmosphere. However, the beach is stony, not sandy, and parking can be challenging due to bumpy terrain. Some also note its clothing-optional nature.
"Such a beautiful and quick hike. Most of the walk is flat (10 minute walk) but you can be a little more adventurous and climb around on the rocks to get different views. The parking area is extremely bumpy with some pretty big dips that could make it difficult for a smaller car, just as a heads up. I highly recommend to bring your bathing suit and a towel so you can enjoy the water after your hike!"
