Day 4 - Caló des Moro
Navigate to the southern tip of the island, where you'll discover the enchanting Calo des Moro—a true slice of paradise.

Surrounded by towering cliffs, lush greenery, and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Calo des Moro's breathtaking beauty is sure to captivate you.
While accessing the beach by land can be challenging, anchoring your yacht for the day provides easy entry. Enjoy ample opportunities for swimming and snorkeling, and bask in the sun from the comfort of your yacht when the beach becomes crowded. Due to its remote location, Calo des Moro lacks facilities, eateries, or drink options. Consider having your onboard chef prepare provisions for the day in Porto Cristo.
