Cove
Cala de Boquer

Description of the walk

Start: Dirt car park on the left and a discreet wooden sign "Cami de Cala de Boquer".

(S/E) Follow the wooden signpost located at the start.

(1) When you reach a house, pass through two iron gates.

The path climbs gently and gradually veers to the right, heading North-East.

Towards the end, you can see a natural arch in the rock face on the left.

At the end, too, the path is no longer obvious. Don't go too far to the left, or you'll end up in the dry torrent bed, which is not easy to descend.

(2) You arrive in Cala de Boquer.

The way back is the same (S/E).

Waypoints

  1. S/E : km 0 - alt. 10 m - Car park near a roundabout.
  2. 1 : km 0.25 - alt. 27 m - Gate to pass through
  3. 2 : km 2.52 - alt. 8 m - Large pebble beach
  4. S/E : km 5.21 - alt. 11 m - Parking near a roundabout

Notes

Start: Dirt car park on the left and a discreet wooden sign "Cami de Cala de Boquer".

Access : The tour starts in Port de Pollença, along the ring road leading to the Formentor peninsula. On the ring road, you pass a roundabout with a model airplane in its center, then another with a supermarket on the right. At the next one, there's a dirt car park on the left and a discreet wooden sign "Cami de Cala de Boquer".

The start is easily reached on foot from the Port de Pollença harbor. Go up the small street to the right of Jean XXIII, cross the market square to reach the bus station, then take the ring road on the right.

Terrain: The walk is very easy until you reach the sea. Here, things get a little more complicated:
- there's no really marked path
- the terrain is quite chaotic.
Nonetheless, it's a very short and manageable walk, provided you're careful.

The cove is made up of large pebbles bathed in crystal-clear water.

Worth a visit

View over the bay of Port de Pollença.

The wild Calanque de Boquer, and on the left, towards the end, a natural arch at the top of the mountain.

Lots of birds, including eagles for the lucky ones.

A beautiful hike between two mountain ranges, rewarded by a swim in a nearly deserted cove, even in the middle of July. Be sure to bring good shoes and plenty of water. The hike is strenuous in 35°C heat with no shade, despite the short distance. But it's well worth the effort

We did it in heavy thundery rain, with an end-of-the-world atmosphere, giving the Cala a very wild look! Very nice encounters with goats roaming all over the mountains of Majorca. No difficulty, impossible to get lost, even if at the end you can go down different paths.
Very easy parking at the start (but I did the walk in March, so I guess it's not the same at the height of the season!)
It must be even different in the sunshine!

A very nice walk. The last section just before reaching the cove is a little more physical and less well signposted, but it's impossible to get lost.

Magnificent scenery as we hike between steep hills and arrive at the superb Cala de Boquer.
The path splits up on the way in and we made a mistake by ending up on the dry riverbed, but it's passable.
It was also difficult to find the right path on the way back.

A very interesting walk from a botanical point of view. Numerous Chamaerops humilis growing in their natural environment.

Really great, the route is very well explained.
I left by bus from Alcudia and on the way I quickly found the roundabout with the plane.
The app with real-time tracking is really, really practical.
I made the journey alone so it's a real plus.
Thank you so much!

Hello,
The information given was good and the car park was easy to find.
Once we arrived at the seaside, the water was translucent with beautiful fish.
Be careful, you'll have to put your food away as there are goats on the lookout.
Thanks for the route.
Sincerely

A lovely, leisurely walk. The path becomes a little scattered at the finish, but there's no risk of getting lost...

A pleasant walk. Picnic on the beach (with pebbles) in the company of pretty goats pecking at the hikers' baskets.

A beautiful hike, difficult when temperatures are above 30 degrees and in strong sunshine. There is not much shade at higher altitudes. Moderate difficulty below 30°C and in cloudy weather. This is a beautiful walk, which guarantees you a 360-degree panorama once you reach the top!
