Es Caló de Sant Agustí is a small fishing harbour on the northern coast of the La Mola plateau, where a series of traditional wooden fishing shelters — coves — are built into the low cliffs beside the water. These arc-roofed structures, each just large enough for a small boat, are among the most photographed things on the island: functional vernacular architecture that has barely changed in a century. The harbour itself is not a beach in the conventional sense but a rocky inlet with clear water and a couple of concrete platforms for swimming.
A small cluster of houses and two or three restaurants make up the settlement. Es Caló works well as a lunch stop on the road to or from La Mola — the restaurants serve fresh fish in the straightforward Formenteran manner, and the terrace tables facing the water are pleasant in the afternoon light. From Es Caló the road climbs to the La Mola plateau past some of the island's oldest agricultural landscape, drystone terraces and fig trees that give way to the open scrubland of the high ground above.
