Positive experience: Disappointed to find nudists mixed with others on the beach- very embarrassing to be honest! Nice beach though and parking
Fantastic experience: Very large parking nearby. Crystal clear waters. Few people as we were in mid-October and the water was still good.
Fantastic experience: Easy access and close to parking. Very peaceful and fine sandy pristine beaches.
Fantastic experience: Beach that combines mountainous areas, pine forests and dunes. I would like to warn you that there are no services at all. With good access, great views, and plenty of space.
Positive experience: Beach with suggestive colors, darker beach than the rest of the island, with reddish rocks. Be careful in the pine forest and near the rocks, we had an unpleasant encounter with a couple of ticks. Beach not equipped, a guy occasionally passes by with water, beers, and soft drinks. Parking located near the beach, about a 5-minute walk.

Fantastic experience: Easy access and close to parking. Very peaceful and fine sandy pristine beaches.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional cove with 2 beautiful beaches that we had the chance to see from the sea during a catamaran trip. There is sand almost up to the exit with a depth of a few meters, which gives the translucent water an emerald color, it’s magnificent! In a week, you don’t have time to do everything, don’t miss this one.
Fantastic experience: Beach easily accessible from the large parking lot. In 5 minutes walk you reach the beach. There are few services (only a lifeguard) but there are no bars or restaurants. The beach is very beautiful and spacious, especially in the morning. From the same parking lot you can also reach the beach of Des BOT either by walking along the beach and then passing over the rocks, or by taking a path to the right of the one that leads to Algaiarens.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant sandy beach, shallow water, beautiful sights, clean water.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach Fine sand, crystal clear water

Fantastic experience: Really very beautiful northern cove, perfect when there is a south wind, well sheltered from the wind and waves. Wild, no restaurant or villas nearby...
Fantastic experience: Playa del norte, preciosa. Aparcamiento gratuito sin chiringuito en la playa.
Fantastic experience: Super belle plage, eau turquoise et chaude (début juin) Prenez juste un pique-nique avec vous car il n’y a pas de magasin ou de restaurant sur la plage :) Parking à 5 minutes de la plage
Positive experience: El acceso a la playa está bien. Tiene 2 parkings, uno un poco más lejos que el otro de la playa pero ambos a una distancia correcta. En agosto, aparcamos sobre las 12 en el más cercano. La playa es muy bonita en general. Se puede hacer snorkel y es tranquila para ir con niños. El día que fuimos nosotros estaba llena de algas al principio y los socorristas encontraron alguna que otra medusa pequeña. Tiene sanitarios en el parking cercano y no tiene chiringuito, solo un tipo vendiendo bebidas.
Fantastic experience: Spiaggia spettacolare per i miei gusti, dista 20 mn in macchina dalla città Ciutadella , si po raggiungere con qualsiasi mezzo, parcheggio disponibile e gratuito. E una delle più belle spiagge del posto abbastanza grande e tutta sabbia, adatta anche per i bambini, in alta stagione e molto frequentata, una spiaggia selvaggia e naturale ben conservata, e molto pulita, bisogna munirsi di Aqua e cibo e ombrellone perché non c’è niente ni bar ni ristorante, in alta stagione si po noleggiare c’è un tipo che noleggia ombrelloni e paddle surf ♂️, e molto tranquilla perfetta per il relax ovviamente la sera , passavo giornate intere e anche la notte andavo e mangiavamo in spiaggia picnic, peccato che non si po dormire in tenda perché è vietato , ma in proximita del parcheggio si poteva installare una tenda per dormire o per chi ha il camper ovviamente po dormire nel parcheggio. La consiglio fortemente e vale la pena passare una giornata intera....

Fantastic experience: Sehr schöner ruhiger und natürlicher Strand. Keine Häuser oder Hotels, nur Natur. Rettungsschwimmer vor Ort. Parkplatz vorhanden.
Fantastic experience: Spiaggia bellissima. Ce la siamo goduti con vento da Sud-Est e quindi è risultata calma senza onde per tutto il giorno. C’è servizio bagnino. I bagni pubblici sono al parcheggio, così come anche i bidoni dell’immondizia. La spiaggia è fatta da due insenature, una più grande e una più piccola. Ad oggi la più piccola è quella con piu poseidonie morte a riva e sulla spiaggia. Le dune alle spalle della spiaggia sono stupende con la loro vegetazione. Il sentiero dal parcheggio alla spiaggia è breve. Alla fine del sentiero c’è una scalinata per scendere. Attenzione che alcuni gradini sono pieni di sabbia e si potrebbe scivolare
Fantastic experience: Beach easily accessible from the large parking lot. In 5 minutes walk you reach the beach. There are few services (only a lifeguard) but there are no bars or restaurants. The beach is very beautiful and spacious, especially in the morning. From the same parking lot you can also reach the beach of Des BOT either by walking along the beach and then passing over the rocks, or by taking a path to the right of the one that leads to Algaiarens.
Fantastic experience: Wide beach with free parking for 200 spots just 5 minutes away. The access is easier than to other beaches on the island. There is a lifeguard (visited in September) and the water is very clean for a swim and to spend a relaxing day as you can feel peace and tranquility.
Fantastic experience: Questa è stata la nostra prima tappa ma non me la dimenticherò mai! Parcheggio a circa 200 metri, dopo una piccola camminata immersi nel verde ti si apre davanti agli occhi uno spettacolo!!! Non ci sono servizi ma i lifeguard si!

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca, ideal for families with children. It has small waves and crystal clear water. The parking lot is free and it's only a 7-minute walk to the beach. There is a toilet at the parking lot, but not on the beach itself. The road to the parking lot gets narrow as you get closer.

Fantastic experience: Beach where you can surf. Very spacious. Recommended beginning of July.
Fantastic experience: The best beach in the west, better than famous ones because it's easily accessible at any hour, spacious and very diverse, you have sand, you have rocks, you can even surf.
Positive experience: Praia com alguma ondulação, pelo menos no dia em que visitei. É uma praia boa para surfistas. Tem vigia e é bastante tranquila. Com estacionamento perto.
Fantastic experience: Jolie plage facilement accessible depuis Ciutadella (env 15mn en voiture). Une grande Anse et une plus petite vers la droite accessible via un petit chemin sous les arbres. Sable blond avec quelques banc de sable rose. Peu d'ombre. Par temps venteux, des surfeurs taquinent les vagues sur la plage sur la droite.
Fantastic experience: Fuimos a esta cala con la intención de surfear alguna ola del mediterráneo. Había dos personas más con sus tablas y poquísima gente. El parking estaba prácticamente vacío y a 5 minutos andando de la playa. Hay que tener cuidado, pues, hay una zona donde había medusas pequeñas. Sin embargo, el agua estaba impresionante de temperatura, había muy poca gente, toda la playa estaba muy limpia y muy tranquila. Estuvimos toda la mañana surfeando y buceando. Hay una zona de olas y otras zonas mucho más tranquilas. Sin duda, una de mis favoritas.

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach, less crowded than the more famous picture postcard Calas but every bit as nice. Water clean and plenty of fish to see when snorkeling. Good free car park with clean toilets and a short walk to the beach. Although most pictures you see show a flat calm sea, there can be decent sized waves here. The first day we came there were surfers out and the waves were easily head high (although surf wise not a very good quality wave) then 2 days later it was flat as a mill pond. I think maybe we stumbled upon a rare swell. Also there's loads of birds of prey in the area, we saw vultures, eagles, kites and hobbies.

Positive experience: Great for snorkeling. As a location, it's average. Not recommended to visit if you're going for a few days to Menorca.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful bay consisting of 2 parts. First comes Platja des Tancat and then accessible via the coast or inland is Platja des Bot. Smaller and a bit nicer to my taste. At the end of the beach, there are also numerous nudist fans. Nice clear water - good for snorkeling. The return route inland was a bit longer than along the coast. No facilities on site. Clear recommendation.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach for snorkeling
Fantastic experience: Easy access and very quiet beach, ideal for relaxing from other crowded beaches and good bottom for snorkeling.
Fantastic experience: Lots of wildlife. Get here at 9 beach to yourself saw 4 comorauts. The native birds. Swam in crystal sea. Good for snorkeling. Lots of people after 12pm but still relaxing. Car access also. Water abit cold but when the weather's 24 degrees or over still good for end of October

Fantastic experience: The best beach in the west, better than famous ones because it's easily accessible at any hour, spacious and very diverse, you have sand, you have rocks, you can even surf.
Positive experience: Carina, onde molto alte e divertenti. Parcheggio comodissimo
Fantastic experience: Ampia e bella spiaggia, molto frequentata pur non avendo praticamente servizi. Vi si arriva comodamente per strada e c'è un ampio parcheggio. Nelle immediate vicinanze non ci sono centri abitati. Noi l'abbiamo visitata in aprile percorrendo la tappa più dura del "Camì de Cavalls" ed è stata una sosta piacevolissima. C'era diversa gente nella settimana di Pasqua...
Fantastic experience: Playa tranquila rodeada de vegetación con amplios parkings pudiendo poner el coche a la sombra on suerte. A sólo 5min andando esta la playa, muy tranquila, con algo de nudismo pero divertida para jugar en la arena y bucear. Agua cristalina y arena fina.
Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa en un maravilloso entorno, recomendable como en todas las playas de Menorca intentar llegar pronto pues suelen estar bastante concurridas, la playa en sí tiene forma de media luna y arena fina, recomiendo encarecidamente el llevarse las gafas o máscara de buceo para disfrutar aún más de las rocas y el agua cristalina de la playa.

Positive experience: Very large sandy beach, which remains quite wild despite its easy access (large parking lot, about ten minutes to reach the beach). Many boats come to anchor in the bay, especially its eastern part, which almost becomes a port! Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available on the beach.
Positive experience: Arrivo facilissimo e agevole dal parcheggio gratuito, solo alla fine c’è una scala per arrivare alla spiaggia. Nonostante il mare fosse un po’ agitato il mare era limpido ed è basso per moltissimi metri. La seconda parte della spiaggia invece risultava piena di alghe. Non sono presenti punti ristoro ma solo noleggio kayak.
Fantastic experience: Sublime plage aux eaux turquoises . Parking gratuit à proximité. Sublime plage de sable blanc . Attention prévoir un pique nique aucune possibilité d acheter à manger ou à boire . Location padel ou kayak 36 euros .
Fantastic experience: Si vas en coche, hay un amplio aparcamiento donde puedes aparcar sin problemas, muy cerca de la playa. El entorno es muy agradable, por lo que el paseo es muy agradable. La playa tiene de todo, la arena natural es muy agradable, puedes hacer pádel o kayak y también hay una zona de rocas ideal para hacer snorkel
Positive experience: Las playas vírgenes de Algaiarens, también conocidas como La Vall o La Vall d’Algaiarens, son las playas de la costa norte más cercanas a Ciutadella. Se puede llegar fácilmente en coche y también en bici, y dispone de dos aparcamientos situados a unos 300 y 500 metros del acceso a la playa respectivamente. El acceso a la playa en coche era de pago hace años, pero ahora ya no. Una de las peculiaridades de esta playa es que aparece en el famoso anuncio de Estrella Damm del año 2010. ¿Cómo Llegar? Para llegar desde Ciutadella hay que coger la carretera de Cala Morell y desviarse antes de llegar al cruce hacia la urbanización. Es difícil perderse ya que está extremadamente bien señalizado, como casi todo en Menorca. Si vienes de Maó has de dirigirte hasta Ciutadella y cuando estés a punto de llegar verás los carteles hacia Cala Morell, solo has de seguirlos. Para llegar al parking hay que recorrer un camino estrecho rodeado de pinos, por lo que es aconsejable ir con cuidado y a poca velocidad, sobretodo por los ciclistas que puedes encontrarte. En algún momento del camino, podrás ver a tu derecha la finca de Son Angel, un lugar donde se pueden hacer excursiones a caballo de 1 hora por algo más de 20 Euros. A tu izquierda, si te fijas un poco, en algún punto del recorrido podrás ver una valla metálica cerrada con candado. Es el acceso privado a Ses Fontanelles, un refugio de pescadores que algunos utilizan para subir y bajar sus embarcaciones. También hay salidas en kayak desde ese refugio. También puedes llegar en transporte público usando la línea 62 del autobús, que te dejará a 1 km de la playa, en el mismo parking donde aparcan los coches. Hay dos parkings en los que se aparca en función de cómo de llena esté la playa. Desde el primer parking tendrás que andar 5 minutos, y desde el segundo parking unos 10 minutos.

Fantastic experience: It's a very beautiful beach ️ on the whole island

Fantastic experience: Beautiful!!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional cove with 2 beautiful beaches that we had the chance to see from the sea during a catamaran trip. There is sand almost up to the exit with a depth of a few meters, which gives the translucent water an emerald color, it’s magnificent! In a week, you don’t have time to do everything, don’t miss this one.
Fantastic experience: Beach that combines mountainous areas, pine forests and dunes. I would like to warn you that there are no services at all. With good access, great views, and plenty of space.
Fantastic experience: Among the most beautiful on the island
Fantastic experience: Beach where you can surf. Very spacious. Recommended beginning of July.
Fantastic experience: A great place to clear your mind, there's no mobile signal, but there are still a lot of people. The parking lot is spacious, and when we arrived at 12 o'clock, there were still many empty spots. The day we came, the weather was calm, and this is one of the clearest waters in Menorca. Everything was perfect, remember to bring an umbrella and beach towel!
Positive experience: Spectacular and quite long for what the beaches of Menorca usually are. Very clear water and the sand doesn't stick too much. It is located in an area of special protection for birds, and if you pay attention, you will see them here and there, although if you make your visit during tourist season, you won't see much. The beach isn't very wide. There are two or three coves connected, only separated by rocky areas. One of the nice beaches to go to with kids in the north of the island.
Positive experience: Beach with suggestive colors, darker beach than the rest of the island, with reddish rocks. Be careful in the pine forest and near the rocks, we had an unpleasant encounter with a couple of ticks. Beach not equipped, a guy occasionally passes by with water, beers, and soft drinks. Parking located near the beach, about a 5-minute walk.
Fantastic experience: Beach easily accessible from the large parking lot. In 5 minutes walk you reach the beach. There are few services (only a lifeguard) but there are no bars or restaurants. The beach is very beautiful and spacious, especially in the morning. From the same parking lot you can also reach the beach of Des BOT either by walking along the beach and then passing over the rocks, or by taking a path to the right of the one that leads to Algaiarens.
Fantastic experience: As they say in Menorca, the beach is 'very nice'.
Fantastic experience: Very pretty beach to the north, not too crowded for a month of July
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach between the forest and the sea. People guide you to access the parking lot. We got the last parking spot this morning at 11 am, so plan to go early. Also think about food and an umbrella because there is nothing to eat on site.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca, ideal for families with children. It has small waves and crystal clear water. The parking lot is free and it's only a 7-minute walk to the beach. There is a toilet at the parking lot, but not on the beach itself. The road to the parking lot gets narrow as you get closer.
Fantastic experience: It's the best beach in Menorca
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended with children, close to the parking, and it doesn't cover much!
Positive experience: Free parking 300 meters from the beach. Beware, there is a lot of current on this beach. Not suitable for children. Not ideal for observing fish.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach and reasonably sized parking... 200 cars. The beach is spacious and clean.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach in a protected area, not too many people.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular cove. Beautiful, crystal clear waters, wonderful.
Positive experience: Great for snorkeling. As a location, it's average. Not recommended to visit if you're going for a few days to Menorca.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant sandy beach, shallow water, beautiful sights, clean water.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach Fine sand, crystal clear water
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, easy access and a large parking lot with clean restrooms.
Positive experience: 2 parking lots, 5 minutes walk.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful, the parking is not very far from the beach and the alleys are worth seeing.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach and not equipped. Also, the approach through the beautiful pine forest. 5 minutes walking from the parking.
Fantastic experience: There is sand and no stones in the water. Very clear, you can see small fish without going too far.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach to go see. Although it had rained the day before and the wind was still present, the sea was quite clear and it is easy to find a spot as it is long enough. The beach is sandy and you can easily touch the bottom in the first areas. The beach is not equipped.
Positive experience: Very nice sandy beach. The water slopes gently. I don't recommend swimming directly at the main beach but rather taking the small footpath through the woods to the smaller secondary beach; there it is less crowded and a bit quieter.
Fantastic experience: Another beautiful beach in Minorca to prefer with winds blowing from the south. It is easily reachable, parking is easy, and you arrive at this sandy beach surrounded by rocky walls, which serve as a habitat for many beautiful fish. Next to it, with a walk of about 10 minutes, you can reach a beach that is part of the same bay but which is not visible at first, des bots.
Fantastic experience: Very cool beach
Positive experience: Easy access wild cove with organized free parking. There is no beach bar. There are public restrooms in the parking area. If you forget your beach umbrella, there is a guy who rents them for a modest price of 10 lereles. Beautiful cove, quite a few families with children, not very crowded.
Positive experience: Very quiet cove (in mid-June), the water was truly clear. We visited it twice in 3 days. On the first day, the water was clean but very choppy; on the second day it was calmer but we encountered jellyfish... what a shame because the scenery is really worth it. You can get there from a free parking lot, a 5-minute walk. The cove immediately to the right had quite a bit of seaweed while this one was really clean.
Fantastic experience: It is worth going, the beach is very beautiful, easy parking and you barely walk 5-6 minutes to get to the beach.
Positive experience: Magnificent landscape and beach with turquoise sea. However, it is filled with jellyfish due to a lot of wind. A shame for the missed swimming.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach with no buildings! It's great for a full day or even half a day.
Fantastic experience: A very beautiful beach. You can drive to a relatively large parking lot nearby. After a short walk you are already there. There are toilets at the parking lot. However, there is no way to get food or drinks on site. It may be different during the high season.
Fantastic experience: There is free parking, and to get to the cove you have to walk a little and go down a staircase. It's definitely worth it. Crystal clear turquoise waters, a marvel.
Positive experience: Excellent beach.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, parking 5 minutes away on foot. Clear water and fine sand, sunbathing in this first week of April 2024.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach in the north of the island
Positive experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca.
Positive experience: Very beautiful beach, clear sea
Positive experience: Pretty cove with pleasant sand. A bit of a walk to get there. Large parking area.
Fantastic experience: And go there when the wind comes from the south / southeast / southwest to be sheltered
Fantastic experience: Certainly the most beautiful, cleanest, and quietest beach in Ciutadella. It is also the locals' favorite. Beautiful because it has a large white sand beach with dunes, pines, and rocks. Clean because it is almost full sea, so the water is a bit choppy and renewed, quiet because it's not overcrowded... these are the 3 different points compared to Turqueta, Macarella, Saura.
Fantastic experience: Cala Algaiarens is a magnificent and spacious beach, perfect for daytime relaxation and activities. However, it's not the ideal spot for catching a sunset, as the sun sets early behind the mountain, obscuring the view. Morning visits are recommended for a truly scenic experience. The parking lot here is ample, ensuring convenience even during peak hours. So, if you're looking for a beautiful beach escape with plenty of space and an easy parking situation, Cala Algaiarens is a fantastic choice to enjoy the morning sun and the serene surroundings.
Positive experience: The trail is very nice, the beach not so much.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, spectacular scenery, I loved it.
Fantastic experience: Natural paradise suitable for civic-minded people. Congratulations Menorca for protecting the island from overcrowding.
Positive experience: The beach itself is beautiful, but the water is full of trash (plastics and seagull feathers), it's a shame really because it's very nice. Easy access with parking, keep in mind that it is surrounded by rocks and in some areas there is shade from early on.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful place to disconnect!! When I went, there weren't many people, we were practically alone. It's a super nice spot. Keep in mind that there is no coverage.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove with several beaches and a trail area surrounded by pine forests. It is more pristine than many others and less crowded. Good parking just 200 meters away. It is definitely one of the recommended places to visit, you should bring food and drink as there is nothing nearby to buy.
Fantastic experience: This cove is very beautiful, they have a large and free parking lot, you walk about 10 minutes on a natural trail to reach the cove, come comfortable and with sports shoes, it is wonderful to appreciate this natural beach.
Positive experience: beautiful place, too bad the water is a bit dirty....
Negative experience: Silty water, chemical green, full of algae, dirty. It's like bathing in a sewer.
Negative experience: Maybe because it rained heavily yesterday... I saw the state of the water, I turned back.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, in September the sun disappears behind the hill in the afternoon.
Fantastic experience: Very spacious beach, very clear water, ample parking 300 meters away.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful bay consisting of 2 parts. First comes Platja des Tancat and then accessible via the coast or inland is Platja des Bot. Smaller and a bit nicer to my taste. At the end of the beach, there are also numerous nudist fans. Nice clear water - good for snorkeling. The return route inland was a bit longer than along the coast. No facilities on site. Clear recommendation.
Negative experience: Today we went to this cove. The water on the left side of the beach was extremely dirty. It literally looked brown and had a lot of trash. Fortunately, the right side was quite good. But knowing other beautiful beaches in Menorca, we won't come back... it's not worth it.
Positive experience: Water not very clean because of the algae. Beach not equipped, which penalizes it a bit. On the other hand, space for wild nature.
Fantastic experience: Great beach. Brutal natural framing. Practically no wind, great water, ideal for swimming, diving, and enjoying. 5m from the parking lot.
Positive experience: Very large sandy beach, which remains quite wild despite its easy access (large parking lot, about ten minutes to reach the beach). Many boats come to anchor in the bay, especially its eastern part, which almost becomes a port! Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available on the beach.
Positive experience: Beach on the north side of the island. With 2 parking areas, the first 15 minutes and the second 5 minutes on foot from the beach. Beautiful water. It's advisable to go depending on where the wind is blowing. With a headwind, you risk encountering a day with seaweed and rough water. No bar service on site.
Negative experience: It takes a 5-minute walk from the parking lot, a large beach with sand, there is no shade. When we were there, it was full of seaweed even on the beach, crowded and shallow water. Good for the sunset.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, clean, accessible, fine sand, gentle slope.
Positive experience: Very nice sandy beach with translucent water, free parking, and easy access to the beach. However, it's hard to escape the crowds.
Fantastic experience: crystal clear water and a lot of space, parking 10-15 mins walking
Fantastic experience: We were here until the evening, so the sun did not show the crystal clear water. But that is exactly what the water is like here! The beach is sandy. Free parking, the path from the parking lot is short. It's one of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca.
Positive experience: Cala Algaiarens is a beautiful cove in the northwest of the island of Menorca. Transparent waters and fairly clean sands. In mid-September, there are not many people. Only one drawback, there isn't a single trash can. A point to improve by those who manage this space.
Fantastic experience: Unattended beach, close to the parking lot (there is a short walk to get there). Beautiful sea!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful cove. A great swim.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach for snorkeling
Fantastic experience: Simply amazing!!!, it is a must if you go to Menorca.
Fantastic experience: More quiet and less crowded than the other one ☝️
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Very clean, transparent water, close parking.
Fantastic experience: Great beach, especially when it has been windy for several days with wind coming from the South.
Fantastic experience: Easy access and very quiet beach, ideal for relaxing from other crowded beaches and good bottom for snorkeling.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, very unspoiled beaches
Positive experience: A family beach. I couldn't see many fish because the water was a bit dirty. Still, it has a large parking lot and the access is with trees and shade. It's much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Easily accessible beach, very spacious with a large parking area. It is very beautiful and surrounded by nature, quite similar to Arenal de Son Saura (much prettier).
Fantastic experience: Calm beach with clear water in the north of Menorca. Access is super easy and there are two parking lots relatively close.
Fantastic experience: Super top beach! It's one of our favorites in Menorca! It has parking with services and is a 10-minute walk. The cove is spacious and very clean. If you walk a little, you reach the end at the red rocks, and it's a very quiet area. We will definitely come back to this cove.
Fantastic experience: Wide beach with free parking for 200 spots just 5 minutes away. The access is easier than to other beaches on the island. There is a lifeguard (visited in September) and the water is very clean for a swim and to spend a relaxing day as you can feel peace and tranquility.
Fantastic experience: I loved it, beautiful cove with parking nearby
Fantastic experience: A very nice sandy beach with shallow water of about 20 m. Perfect for families with children. Good parking not far from the beach.
Fantastic experience: It's very beautiful and highly recommended, not overcrowded. Many times the green of its waters is due to the micro-life in its waters. And importantly, close to the apartment in case you don't want to walk much.
Fantastic experience: Menorca beach is part of Algaiarens along with the one right next to it, Cala Des Bot. The parking lot is common for both and is free, but you need to arrive early to get a spot. It's a 10-minute walk to the beach of Es Tancats.
Fantastic experience: The best beach in the west, better than famous ones because it's easily accessible at any hour, spacious and very diverse, you have sand, you have rocks, you can even surf.
Fantastic experience: Beach with good access!! Large and organized parking. The access path to the beach is very good with shade and stairs at the end, but short and great for going with kids. There are two beaches; the first had slightly green and murky water...but we walked a little further to the next beach next door where the water was fantastic and clear!!! Definitely a beach I recommend for spending the day!!!
Fantastic experience: A spectacular beach. There are two parking lots, and depending on which one is free, you will have to walk more or less. From the farthest parking lot, it takes about 10 minutes.
Positive experience: Beach easily accessible with a free parking next to it But the water is not clear blue as in some other beaches
Positive experience: Nice beach but there was a lot of algae … Worth walking around the corner to Les Bots
