What this video covers
The eastern and southern coasts of Mallorca feature numerous calas, or small coves, characterized by steep rock walls and clear water. Navigating the area involves transitioning around the prominent Cap de Formentor lighthouse to reach the southeastern coastline.1:16 Puerto Cristo offers a straightforward public dock and access to nearby underground caves.2:27 Anchoring in tight, narrow coves like Cala Arsenault requires careful positioning, as these spots often accommodate multiple sailboats and powerboats despite their small size.3:54
The island of Cabrera, a national park located 10 miles south of Mallorca, requires an online permit for entry.8:59 Mooring availability is restricted, with stays limited to one night in July and August, or two nights in June and September.9:09 Returning from Cabrera to the mainland can involve motoring through sloppy seas caused by swell from storm systems near Menorca, even when wind speeds are insufficient for sailing.8:20 Other notable anchorages along the coast include Cala Barcas, which provides deep water for anchoring and serves as a waypoint for coastal travelers.10:57
