Son Bunyola

Platja de Son Bunyola is situated at 12 kilometres from Esporles, between sa Cova and Port des Canonge. The name is given by the torrent that flows into the sea in this wild coastal stretch. The different colours of the pebbles and the gravel contrast with the reddish mud, the footprints of the dinosaurs, the cliffs between which this cove is located, nearly virgin, in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, with only a few escars (typical dry docks of the Balearic Islands) of the fishers. A thick pine wood along the coastline surrounds this rocky area. the small size of this beautiful beach changes depending on the force of the water of Torrent de Son Bunyola, and also on the sea currents. The marine and underwater conditions are not safe for anchoring boats in front of this beach because it is exposed to the wind from the north and the swell. The navigator is recommended to anchor in Port des Canonge, because this coastal area which belongs to the municipalities of Banyalbufar and Estellencs is safer, although you have to be very careful. The nearest port facilities are located at Port de Sóller, at 9,2 nautical miles. The accessibility by car is easy following the signs until Port des Canonge. Here you have to park your private car and walk for three hectometres until you reach this picturesque place, which was once used by the smugglers. There is also a trail toward Banyalbufar. These characteristics explain that the beach is not crowded at all, only by local visitors. Information about this beach may change.
