Portopetro, which still appears to be a small fishing village, has become a large size tourist centre with many houses and the holiday town of Club Mediterranee, which has taken over most of Caló de sa Torre and despite the proximity to Cala d'Or, conserves its traditional character.

Although an increasing area has been developed over recent years, it maintains its harmony. Most facilities are to be found in the old town, next to the harbour. Here we find different bars and restaurants as well as showers and toilets.

The seafood dishes served in these restaurants should not be missed. From Portopetro, excursions can be made to any of the towns in the municipal area of Santanyí. S'Alqueria is the closest place and very near there stands the chapel of Consolació (205 metres), an excellent mirador over this particular stretch of coastline.

Portopetro is also the starting point for boat tours to Cala Figuera, Mondragó, Cabrera and the neighbouring beaches. It is also a stopping place for other boats leaving Cala d'Or on their way to Mondragó. Some include meals and time for bathing. The Nature Park of Mondragó can be reached on foot.
