Cala Ratjada:
Cala Ratjada (also known as Cala Ratjada) (‘the Bay of Rays’) in the north east in the Capdepera municipality is one of Mallorca’s most important fishing ports.
Cala Ratjada is the nearest point between Mallorca and Menorca and is why it has played an important role in the economy. On clear days, it is not difficult to see the neighbouring Balearic island of Menorca and the town of Ciutadella. There is a ferry service to the island of Menorca.

Pedruscada:
Pedruscada is situated 2 km south of Cala Ratjada. The name Sa Perduscada mean “stones“ and comes from the stones and pebbles that characterize this small piece of coastline. Pedruscada is a quiet stretch of coastline with an informal fishing harbour.

Es Carregador:
Es Carregador is a small, beautiful bay south of Cala Ratjada and in front of the sea inlet that gives way to the little beach of n'Aguait. This portion of the coastline is made up of a set of four coves of thick gravel and some sand, which are camouflaged between a barrier of tamarind trees that reach the first line of this corner of rocks and algae, whose coastline is covered by a blanket of algae of greenish and bluish tones. These coves are also used as a pier for small boats. Along the way one passes some humble fishermen's houses and some old second homes, built several decades ago.

Sa Font de sa Cala:
Sa Font de sa Cala is a family-friendly cove beach on the east coast of Mallorca surrounded by low cliffs and pine trees. The 100-metre long beach is popular with both tourists and locals because of its easy access, soft sand and beautiful clear blue water.

Torre Nova des Cap Mervell:
The tower, built in 1577, served as a watch and defensive tower. At a height of 210 meters in the middle of Cap Vermell, it gives impressive panoramic views of Sa Font de sa Cala and Cala Rajada in the north and Canyamel and Cap des Pinar or Raix en la Costa de los Pinos in the south. The tower has been restored and is in a good state of preservation.
