La Pared & Playa del Viejo Rey
La Pared
A surf bay on the west coast with reddish-brown sea cliffs and golden sand, famous across the island for its sunsets.
La Pared sits on the west side of the narrowest isthmus of the Jandía Peninsula. Its name comes from the stone wall that the ancient Majorero people built to divide their northern and southern kingdoms. Playa del Viejo Rey is a famous surf spot with surf schools. Golden sand beneath the cliffs and eroded rock layers form a spectacular scene, and in the evening visitors come specially to watch the sunset. The west coast has strong currents, so swimming is not recommended for ordinary visitors. It is about a 15-minute drive from Costa Calma.
