The beach has shallow clear blue and turquoise water which is kept that way by the constant flow of sea currents in the area.

[2] From the beach there are views of the small islands of S’Espartar Illa des Bosc and Sa Conillera.

Its name bears historical significance, stemming from Nuño Sánchez, Count of Sardinia and Roussillon, who played a role in the island's conquest in 1234.

In 2010 Cala Conte was one of the fifteen beaches on the island to have been awarded a prestigious Blue Flag.

It is a well signposted drive with brown tourist signs from the EI-700 road at the nearby village of Sant Agustí des Vedrà.
