More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A pale morning sun lifts off the low hills around Sant Antoni as you push away from the quay, the bay opening like a palm toward the open sea. The engine hums steady and the water ahead is a mosaic of turquoise shallows, hidden coves and small cliffs that dare you to explore them. With no captain’s license required, the day is yours to map — a string of swim stops, snorkel flats and little beaches only reachable by small boat.
