Description

Cala Pada beach is a broad sandy stretch of beach backed by a wood of pine and juniper trees.[3] The offshore reefs protect the bay from the sea, making it popular with the island's windsurfers when the south wind blows.[3] From the beach there are views to several small offshore islands including Illa de Santa Eulària, Illa Rodona and En Caragoler.

Illa Rodona

On 17 January 1913.[4] a steamship called the SS Mallorca ran aground on a reef around Illa Rodona. The crew and passengers were rescued from the ship by the local fishermen of Santa Eulària des Riu. There is a stone memorial to commemorate the rescue in front of the Ajuntament (town hall) in the plaçe d' Espanya, Santa Eulària des Riu.
