Unlike other beaches in the area, Platja des Jondal is formed almost entirely by round pebbles known as ‘códols’. These ‘códols’ produce a characteristic sound when the waves hit the seashore which turn into a peculiar and relaxing symphony spicing up perfectly these magical moments. For some, the ‘códols’ can be inconvenient, but just a few meters into the water, the seabed is composed mostly of fine sand. Also, if you prefer, the northern part of the beach has a sandy part ideal for lying down on your towel and enjoy the views.
