Punta Xinxo
An often ignored little beach at the far end of San Antonio bay
There are many beaches along the coastline of San Antonio bay and Punta Xinxo is the very last of them. The furthest away from the main town and consequently one of the least visited in the bay.
Also known as Playa Bella beach after the apartment complex that sits behind it, or Cala de Bou. Visitors to Xinxo tend to be staying locally in one of the large hotels that border the beach, but if you fancy a walk along the coastline or a day of beach hopping then Xinxo is worthy of being a stop on your list, if only to say that you’ve visited every beach along this strip.
