Skip to content Es Xarco
Location: Near Cala Jondal
Es Xarco is a small hidden beach between Cala Jondal and Porroig. To be reached on a bad gravel path, so be careful here. It is a very quiet place with coarse pebbles. So not very nice to lie on. Some places the sand is a little finer. There is a small chiringuito called Es Xarcu, obviously lots of fish on the menu here. Around the beach are some fishing huts. The sea is rocky which makes it fun to snorkel there. It is an ideal spot if you want to get away from the busy beaches nearby.
