Typical of the Menorca coastline. An absolutely amazing beach, and one seen on many Menorcan postcards.

Cala Mitjana

Situated down a small rocky track off the road from Ferreries to Galdana, on the left hand side just before Cala Galdana but at the end, lies a idyllic south facing cove, bounded by wooded cliffs. Easy to park, but no facilities, bring a picnic.

Son Saura

Follow a sign posted minor road from the southern ring road at Ciutadella. There are many gates to open, but the track is unmistakable and leads to a beautiful sheltered bay, with gently shelving pure white sand. No bar, No restaurants, No people or facilities, except parking.

Cala Mesquida

A lovely unspoiled cove with plenty of new parking areas, close to the beach. This beach is popular with the locals on a weekend, but is less busy throughout the week. This is probably the closest beach to Mahon by road, its about a 7 minute drive.

Cala Macarella

An extremely picturesque pine-fringed cove. Approachable by car from the outer ring-road at Ciutadella, or by foot from Cala Galdana . Beach bar and sun beds, etc, for hire. Taking a 5 minute walk around the cliff to Macarelleta is well worth it. Don’t take anything with you then swim back.
