## What is Cala Matzoc like?

Cala Matzoc, also called Es Matzoc, is a sand-and-pebble beach on Artà’s coast near the Albarca watchtower. Pine woods reach the beach, where two torrents meet the shore. Plan it as a coastal walking visit from the neighbouring coves.

## How do I get to Cala Matzoc, and where do I park?

The council describes about half an hour on the old Camí dels Carabiners from Cala Mitjana parking. A park-led walk on 16 July 2025 instead started at the end of the Cala Torta road, allowing 45 minutes each way and rating the walk low difficulty. Regional tourism gives about 20 minutes without a stated start. Match your route to the named start rather than choosing the shortest estimate. No current parking entrance or visitor entitlement has been verified.

## What are the sand and water like at Cala Matzoc?

The council describes fine sand mixed with pebbles, a sandy seabed and diagonal strips of seaweed. Two torrents reach the beach. Strong flows can cut deep channels through the sand, so inspect the crossing and waterline when you arrive.

## What facilities does Cala Matzoc have?

Toilets, drinking water, staffed lifeguards and dependable shade at the bathing place remain unconfirmed. The park’s historical walk advised participants to bring water and food. Carry your supplies for the beach and the return walk.

## When is Cala Matzoc busiest?

Regional tourism describes a tranquil beach. Treat that as an undated description, not a prediction of how much space you will find today.

## Which winds affect Cala Matzoc?

Check the actual wind and waves before starting the coastal walk. Leave time to return without swimming if the water entry does not suit the conditions.

## What should I watch out for at Cala Matzoc?

The undated regional page mentions driving, while recommending walking because some vehicle sections are difficult. Current legal visitor vehicle access to the beach remains unverified. Follow official signs and any closures. Current bathing flags, water quality and lifeguard duty remain unverified.
