Cala Vinagra is a wild and less frequented beach, making it a peaceful retreat for visitors. The cove is very small and is not managed, which means that it sometimes collects plastic that the sea brings in. There is an abandoned house near the beach, a reminder of the area's past. Despite this, the beach's waters are almost Caribbean-like, with very high biodiversity. Visitors can see the seabed even from several meters above the water surface. However, visitors should be prepared for the jagged road and the challenge of finding the beach, as it is not easily located.
