Guide
Good to know
Go in off-season or winter
The beach is peaceful and uncrowded from November through early summer.
Visit before 10am in summer
Reviewers report the small cove becomes completely overcrowded by late morning during peak season.
Expect rocky entry to water
The cove has many rocks making it difficult to enter and exit the water.
Bring kayak or boat to explore
The full beauty of Fornells Bay is only accessible by water; nearby rocky islets offer excellent snorkeling.
