Are there any hiking trails on the island that end at a beach?

Cool mornings in the Serra de Tramuntana provide ideal conditions for hikes that conclude with a refreshing dip by the sea. One of the most rewarding routes starts near Sóller and follows the old paths toward Sa Calobra, a dramatic cove where the Torrent de Pareis gorge meets the Mediterranean. The hike winds through rugged cliffs and shaded pine forests, with glimpses of the turquoise water below. Arriving at Sa Calobra's small beach is like finding a hidden treasure, well worth the steep descent.

Another favorite is the trail from Cala Figuera to Cala Mondragó in the southeast, passing through dunes and pine groves before reaching the clear waters perfect for cooling off. The gentle terrain here makes it accessible to many, with the nearby Ses Salines Natural Park enhancing the experience with its diverse flora and fauna. For those seeking a beach-hike combo with panoramic scenery, the path along the Ma-10 road from Deià to Cala Deià offers breathtaking views over the Bay of Sóller and ends at a pebble beach with a quaint local restaurant serving fresh seafood and a glass of Binissalem wine.

Public transport can be a useful way to access trailheads, with the TIB bus network serving areas like Alcúdia and Pollensa, and the historic Sóller railway providing a scenic journey to starting points. Don’t forget to pack some traditional pa amb oli or an ensaimada for the journey—it’s the perfect fuel for a day exploring the island’s blend of mountain and sea landscapes.
