Description

It is part of an ancient fishing port, which has been renovated and adapted to the needs of modern portfolios since the 1960s. Within the port area there is also the Nautical Club Cala Ratjada, a sailing club founded in 1975. The port is publicly owned. There are 215 berths in the port area and are partly managed by the Government of the Balearic Islands and partly (more precisely, by a number of 85) by the Cala Ratjada Nautical Club. Of these moorings, fourteen are reserved for yacht passengers. The boat stop over 12 meters long always runs along the pier of the public administration. The length allowed for ships entering the port is between 4 and 18 meters. At the mouth of the port, the draft is 7 meters, while it is reduced to the pier, receiving only ships that have a draft of between 1.80 and 4 meters. The waves from south and south-east can hinder the mooring, compromising also the access to the port. The convenient location to reach the neighboring island of Menorca makes it a very busy port all year round, especially in the summer season. The port of Cala Ratjada offers a security service, a laundry and a fire service. On the docks there are columns for the supply of electricity and water, and yachts passing through here can use showers and toilets. Inside the port area there is a repair shop, a service station and a crane to lift boats. Furthermore, there is parking for those arriving by car. From the port of Cala Ratjada, also a ferry to Menorca, near the landing you can find hotels, bars, restaurants, a veterinary clinic and some supermarkets. Cala Ratjada is located in the area of ​​Capdepera, an area full of very suggestive beaches, with different characteristics. The nearest beach at Cala Ratjada is Son Mol, less than one kilometer from the port. It is about 150 meters long, sandy and easily accessible from the mainland. In general, it is filled during the summer due to its easy access by land, as well as by the many surfers who have been found near the beach. In Son Mol you can use the toilets and showers, rent hammocks and umbrellas. Furthermore, on the beach there is also a kiosk-bar. Not far from Cala Ratjada is also the Cala Gat beach (more "wild" and with less services available nearby) surrounded by tamarind trees and the crystal-clear sea. The water in front of the bay is a popular destination for boaters. The whole area is part of the marine reserve of Llevant de Mallorca, so it is good to know the rules for anchoring, diving and fishing.

From here you can enjoy a splendid view of the area. Near the tourist port of Cala Ratjada it is possible to find archaeological sites and vestiges of the Talayotic civilizations.
