Nestled on the rocks between Cala Jondal and Porroig, Es Xarco is a laid back (but not overly cheap) chiringuito at the east end of the beach serving the best prawns on the island as well as a mean paella. Being off the beaten track it never gets too busy (the small sign for the beach at the T-junction is easy to miss, so keep your eyes peeled) and is the perfect place to soak up the sun, although the beach is pebbly so take a few extra towels for comfort. You can easily find parking in the trees behind the beach.

Top Tip:
Try the fideua made with pasta – UJ loves the aioli that accompanies this dish. We could eat it on everything. We also say fideua over paella!
