Cala Príncipe is a small, beautiful beach located near Playa Genoveses. The beach is known for its fine sand and unique Mediterranean flora. Despite its beauty, it remains largely deserted even during peak seasons like August, providing a serene and peaceful environment for visitors.
One of the beach's distinctive features is its natural shade, which provides a respite from the sun throughout the day. This, coupled with the clear waters, makes it an ideal spot for swimming.
However, access to Cala Príncipe is somewhat challenging. The path leading to the beach is treacherous and not recommended for those wearing flip flops. Visitors can reach the beach by taking the flat path parallel to Playa Genoveses, then ascending to the top of a hill. From there, the path leads to both Cala Príncipe and Cala Chica del Barronal. Despite the difficult access, many visitors find the journey worthwhile for the stunning views and untouched natural beauty.
