Sant Elm’s main town beach is a pleasant sandy strand that faces the gently lapping Mediterranean to the south. Within swimming distance for the moderately fit is Illa Es Pantaleu, a rocky islet that marks one of the boundaries of a marine reserve. To the south of Sant Elm’s main beach is Cala es Conills, a sandless but pretty inlet (follow Carrer de Cala es Conills).
