Mallorca - Colonia de Sant Pere - Sa Canova beach 10

Sa Canova is an unspoilt beach which is almost 2,000m long and 100m wide,
with a unique range of dunes behind, of which a large part is covered by a pine wood.
Generally speaking, on the Mediterranean dunes are found parallel to the beach,
but at Sa Canova the dunes are arranged at an oblique angle to the coast and spread inland,
running as far as 2km from the coast. This is due to the intensity and constant nature
of the Tramuntana wind, which blows from north to south - the same direction as the dunes.
For this reason, this beach is popular with windsurfers. The beach can be reached from the
residential zone of S´Estanyol in Colònia de Sant Pere, walking along the coast to the left
as you look out to sea. You can also get here from the end of Son Serra de Marina, this time
walking towards the right. This protected natural area is located between the two residential
zones of S´Estanyol and Son Serra de Marina.
