Cala Comte

Cala Comte, also spelled Cala Conta, is a string of low rocky coves and pale sand looking out at a scatter of small islets. The water glows an almost unreal turquoise over the sandy seabed, shallow and calm enough for easy snorkelling straight off the rocks. Facing due west, it is one of the island's premier sunset beaches and a regular highlight on beach hopping boat tours, which anchor offshore so swimmers can drop into the clear water.
