Cala Ratjada 39 42.6 N - 003 27.8 E

Cala Ratjada is a pleasant tourist town with a large fishing fleet of medium and small fishing boats, the second largest fishing port on Mallorca. There was a lovely shoreline walk from the port area around to the next beach at Cala Gat, passing the villa Sa Torre Cega, and its sculpture park, built by a wealthy family of bankers.

Cala Ratjada is one of the few jetties where boats could tie up alongside rather than bow or stern to.

Marina
Cala Ratjada	39 42.6 N 3 27.8 E	Club Nautico Esplanada des Moll 07590 - Cala Ratjada Capdepera Tel/Fax 971-564019	This harbour is the nearest jump-off point for Menorca, being only 21 miles away. Visitors can usually tie up along the outer quay, but if going stern-to, they should be careful of fouling their anchors - a trip line is a good idea here. Although there can be a surge in this harbour, particularly with E or SE winds, the marina and quays are always popular in the summer so you should have contingency plans in mind in case no space is available. The Club berths are only for craft up to about 12 metres, but space can be found along the public quay for larger yachts of up to 20 metres. Within the harbour itself there is an active fishing fleet. The town is only a short walk away and is a popular tourist spot, particularly with Germans, so all provisions can be found with ease. There is also a very long sandy beach nearby.
