S'Amarador

S'Amarador is situated at six kilometres from s'Alqueria Blanca and it belongs to Cala Mondragó, one of the most beautiful and big majorcan sea inlets, which is divided into two parts, s'Amarador and Cala de ses Fonts de n'Alís. The depth of both coves reaches six metres on a sandy ground and they are exposed to the winds from the east and southeast. The nearest port facilities are located at Reial Club Marítim Portopetro, at 2,1 nautical miles. Cala Mondragó was declared, in 1992, Natural Parc (785 hectares and it can be visited from Monday to Sunday) by the Parlament de les Illes Balears, and in 1995 Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès para las Aves by the European Community. S'Amarador is a beach of fine-grained sand, with gentle slope, and a vegetation that fixes the system of dunes (pines, thistles and others). It is closed by a pond with water that comes from the torrent that flows into the sea at this sandy area, where the land turtle is being reintroduced since 1985. This beautiful beach is less crowded that sa Font de n’Alis nearby, because it has few touristy facilities and it is impossible to get here by train from Cala d'Or. The accessibility by car is easy. You can leave your car for free on a big parking area at five minutes from this sandy area, and this is why the beach has a medium influx of families. The beach can also be reached on foot from sa Font de n'Alis, walking for 400 metres along the coastline.
