Última actualización: 20/08/2024

The beach Caleta de s’Elisabet (or Cala n’Elisabet) is a tiny cove of reddish sand located in the eastern part of Binimel-la. Of all the coves in the area, it is the one that has the most sand to plant the towel and umbrella,mainly because it is about 20 meters deep. From the parking lot of Binimel-la, walking towards the east you will find these 5 coves:

1. Cala de Binimel·la
2. Cova des Pont
3. Sa Caleta de n’Elisabet
4. Racó d’en Miquel
5. Punta de Binimel·la

This cove is very small, only 10 meters long and with space for about 20 people comfortably. It is a beach that in summer can be a little crowded, since the whole area of Binimel-la and Pregonda receives hundreds of tourists who want to go to these beaches.
