Cala Saona
Cala Saona is the beach of the touristic village with the same name, located between Punta Rasa (at 700 metres and 18-metres high cliffs) and Caló d’en Trull, and it is situated at five kilometres from Sant Francesc Xavier. In this natural setting which belongs to Àrea Natural d’Especial Interès de Cap Alt nudism is allowed. This beach is surrounded by two cliffs and it is still nearly virgin, although there is a small touristic building, it has fine-grained white sand, a system of dunes at the rear, a thick pine wood around this coastal corner, open toward west, some escars (typical dry docks), very gentle slope (at 40 metres from the coast there is a depth of two metres), crystal clear water and a sandy ground which invites you to dive. The marine and underwater conditions for anchoring boats are good in this u-shaped sea inlet. This cove is open to the wind from the west-northwest-north, and the depth reduces gently, so that the best anchorages are located in front of this beach at one hectometre. At 70 metres west from Punta Rosa there are some rocks at a depth of two metres. The accessibility by car is easy following the signs and the deviations. The private car, moped or bicycle can be left on a free parking area in the surroundings. You can also reach this beach with the public transport.The nearest bus stop is located at half a hectometre. These characteristics explain that the beach is very crowded by tourists. When the beach has a lifeguard service, you must follow the lifeguards’ instructions and the warnings on flags. A red flag indicates dangerous swimming conditions and means that swimming is not permitted. A yellow flag indicates that precaution must be taken, but that swimming is permitted. A green flag indicates that swimming is permitted. An orange flag is used to indicate that the lifeguard is absent. Act cautiously when no lifeguard is present or the service is not available and enjoy the beach without taking any unnecessary risks. For health and safety reasons, the municipal ordinances ban pets on beaches. Information about this beach may change.
