Port des Torrent is a small, sheltered cove at the western end of the bay of San Antonio, in the municipality of Sant Josep. Its golden sand sits at the end of a deep inlet, framed by pine woods and rocks.
What it’s like
Being so tucked away, the water is usually calm and safe for swimming, and the fine sand slopes gently into a turquoise sea. The rocks along both sides of the inlet are good for snorkelling and for finding a quieter spot.
There are sunbeds and parasols, a beach club, restaurants on the sand and toilets. The beach faces west, so the restaurants are a popular place to watch the sunset.
Lifeguards watch over the beach in season: from 1 July to 30 September, from 11am to 7pm, and from mid-May to the end of June and in the first half of October, for shorter hours around the middle of the day.
Getting there
Port des Torrent is about ten minutes’ drive from San Antonio, and within walking distance for those staying at the western end of the bay. There is free parking near the beach.
The U1 bus links the beach with San Antonio and Cala Tarida, and in summer small boats link the beach with San Antonio and other beaches along the west coast.
Good to know
The village of Sant Agustí, on its hilltop a few minutes inland, makes a good stop for dinner after a day on the beach.
