A narrow, sheltered inlet of white sand a few kilometres south of Ciutadella, between Sa Caleta and Cala Blanca. Locals like it at weekends; it gets crowded in high season.

## Getting there

Limited parking in the surrounding streets; resort buses run from Ciutadella.

## Where to eat nearby

- Cova Sa Nacra: Restaurant built into the rock with a terrace over the cove, known for paella and Menorcan shrimp; candle-lit after dark
- Santandria Beach Club: Cocktails and tapas by the sand

Restaurants and opening hours change by season; check before you go.

## Good to know

- The sheltered shape keeps the water calm in most winds except westerlies.

## Worth combining

- Cala Blanca, about 15–20 minutes on foot.
- Ciutadella old town.
