Four kilometres along the road north from Sant Joan, a signposted side road loops past some villas to quiet Cala Xarraca, a thin strip of coarse sand and pebbles no more than 150m long, with a few sunbeds and umbrellas to rent. The solitary bar-restaurant sells full meals and tapas, and is a fine spot to watch cormorants, and spear-fishers diving at the end of the day.
