WORTH A TRIP
CAP BLANC
If you're travelling the coast road from Palma to Capocorb Vell and Cala Pi, detour
to this wonderfully secluded spot. Take the Ma6014 highway south from S'Arenal
and turn right at the sign pointing to 'Cap Blanc'. You'll soon come across a light-
house and desolate-seeming military compound. Park beside the fence.
You can't reach the lighthouse, but a trail setting off from the fence leads you on
a five-minute walk through scrubby bushes and over pitted rocks to a sheer cliff.
The views of the Mediterranean are nothing short of majestic with ruddy-coloured
cliffs running up the coast and fishing birds circling overhead. Breezy and sunny,
this is a fabulous picnic spot, but be careful with kids or dogs; there is no fence and
the drop is abrupt.
TOP OF CHAPTER
Sa Ràpita & Around
The main settlement along this stretch of coast, Sa Ràpita is a sleepy seaside village
whose rocky shoreline, harangued by waves, provides a scenic diversion from the rest of
the nondescript town. Neighbouring Vallgornera has the longest cave on the island.
Sights
Platja de Ses Covetes BEACH
This sweep of long, silky sand and gin-clear water forms part of the Reserva Marina del
Migjorn de Mallorca (a protected marine reserve), so no buildings mar its backdrop of
dunes and pines. It's unspoilt but not uncrowded. Walking east along the shore, you'll
come upon Platja des Trenc. Platja de Ses Covetes is past Sa Ràpita and off the Ma6030
highway. You can park in Sa Rapita.
