Cala mesquida beach. Cala Mesquida beach is for us one of the most beautiful beaches and coves of Cala Ratjada and Mallorca.
In this cove we will enjoy a pure nature practically away from tourism. The beach is surrounded by vegetation and large rocks that make it one of the most paradisiacal beaches on the island. On the beach we will find a small beach bar where we can cool off. Part of Mesquida Bay is a nature reserve where there is a large colony of cormorants and seagulls.
