Starting from the port and heading, this time, to the east you arrive, after a pleasant walk of approximately ten minutes, the tiny Cala Gat bay, formed by a narrow beach which is situated on a stretch of coast rather steep and wooded: the beach is in fact perched on the reef, which presents a thick vegetation of pines.
The place is very attended and can become really impossible to find a little space to sunbathe, it is worth to visit it, especially for the energetic bar in this lido, that is a perfect place to know somebody as it is always full of people.
This piece of coast, however, is not suitable for those who love the candid and immaculate sea areas, as Cala Gat is anything but uncontaminated!
Other interesting place in the vicinity of Cala Gat, are the Palau Joan March gardens, that you can already spot from the path that leads to the bay: this is a very showy mansion built in 1916 for a rich tobacco merchant.
Beyond the gardens, continuing along the east direction on a road that is called C/Elionor Severa, you arrive, after about 1 kilometer of steep and winding road in the middle of a thick pine forest, to the Capdepera promontory, bare and desolated; here there is a suggestive lighthouse that dominates the east tip of the whole Mallorca island.
