This lovely cove is a great spot for snorkeling and other activities. On a good day, the water is clear and the beach has a beautiful brown sand. However, on a bad day, the cove can attract a lot of rubbish, plastics, and micro plastics, turning the sea into a 'gloop' of waste and other unpleasant debris. It can be difficult to determine which days are good and which are bad, as sometimes the sea is completely smooth and clear even on windy days, and other times it is full of waves and dead sea grass on still days. Nevertheless, it is worth checking out either way, especially for small children.

Cala de Pixavaques may look nice, but it's not dog-friendly, and the sand is pretty stony. If you're looking for a better beach experience, there are much better options elsewhere.

L'alguer beach may be bustling, but if you're looking for a quieter beach experience, then you'll love the sandy beach nearby. It has all the facilities you need and is easily accessible, but unfortunately dogs are not allowed.
