The cove is yes, it is good but the access is quite bad.

Cala Mitjana is a spectacular cove that combines stunning natural beauty with a relaxing atmosphere. Although it requires a bit of a walk to get there, it's worth the drive. The crystal clear waters and white sand make it perfect for a day at the beach, and if you dare to explore a little, you can discover Cala Mitjaneta, a smaller but equally beautiful cove. It is a place to completely disconnect from the world.
