Cala Torta
Cala Torta is located in the north-eastern part of Mallorca, north of the historical town of Arta. The road to Cala Torta is clearly marked, but you should prepare for the last few kilometres on a poor, unpaved road.
However, the beach is certainly worth the trip and with an affordable rental car it is easy to visit Cala Torta and other amazing beaches in Mallorca.
The beach in general
