Bordered by pines 12km southeast of Ciutadella, the twin white-sand beaches of Banyuls and Bellavista are popular for their easy(ish) access and raw natural beauty. Only Bellavista is good for swimming; Banyuls is covered with posidonia seagrass. The car park is a five-minute walk from the nearest sands, and you can follow the Camí de Cavalls east or west.

Autocares Torres bus 66 runs to/from Ciutadella (€3.50, 30 minutes, three to eight daily May to September).
