The “Pickled Peak” Bay
Accessible only by foot or boat, this bay is a UNESCO-protected masterpiece. The 143-meter limestone pinnacle that juts out of the sea is your “crunchy” element. The pebble beach and electric-blue water offer the brine. Pro tip: Arrive early (or late) to avoid crowds and spot peregrine falcons overhead.

The Over-Pickled Classic (But Worth It)
Yes, it’s famous. Yes, it’s crowded. But La Pelosa is the essential mixedpickle because it contains everything: shallow, Caribbean-like water (sweet), a 16th-century tower on a tiny island (salty), strict rules (you must rent a mat, no sand towels—the “sour” regulation), and shocking pink sunsets (the spicy kick). Go in October for a quieter jar. The “Pickled Peak” Bay Accessible only by foot
Mixedpickle note: Reservations required in summer. Arrive by 8 AM or book an afternoon slot.
Why it makes the 06 best: This UNESCO World Heritage site is not accessible by car. You must arrive by boat or via a strenuous hike. Consequently, the "mixedpickles" here are more exclusive—think wooden sailboats and daring climbers scaling the 143-meter limestone pinnacle. Pro tip: Arrive early (or late) to avoid
The Caper & Cactus Bay
Yes, there’s a famous flamingo lagoon behind the beach, but the real mixedpickle here is the landscape. Fine white sand (neutral base), a rocky headland with a Spanish tower (salty history), and wild prickly pears growing on the cliff edges (the unexpected tang). Snorkel just off the tower rocks to find castagnole (blacktail comber fish) darting among sea fans.
Mixedpickle note: The shallow sandy bottom is warm like a brine bath—perfect for floating.
