How to get to Cala Turqueta?

From Sant Joan de Missa, follow the road to the southern beaches, and when you get to Hermita de Sant Joan de Misa take the road of Cala Turqueta. Then go ahead about 4km to find parking and walk about 10 minutes to get to this paradise that is Cala Turqueta. During the summer months we recommend going early in the morning as being a well-known and popular beach is very difficult to park.
