No beach bars or sun loungers: just posidonia, silence, and the scent of resin drifting down from the pinewood. As in almost all the southern coves, a <strong>ravine<\/strong> carved over millennia into the limestone platform ends here, and that ravine is the reason the beach exists: sand builds up right where the stream meets the sea.  <\/p>\n<p>On calm-sea days, <em>snorkelling<\/em> along the side walls is spectacular: seabream, wrasse and, if you\u2019re lucky, a painted comber among the posidonia patches. Precisely because of that meadow \u2014the one that keeps the water so clear\u2014 it\u2019s best not to anchor on top of it or pull away the dry remains on the shore: dead posidonia protects the sand from winter storms. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Access:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/voyagermenorca.com\/en\/tourist-guide-cami-de-cavalls\/\">Cam\u00ed de Cavalls<\/a> from Cala Mitjana (westbound) or from Sant Tom\u00e0s via Binigaus (eastbound, longer).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walking time:<\/strong> 45\u201360 min from Mitjana along a dirt path with intermittent pine shade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Services:<\/strong> none (bring water and your own shade).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideal for:<\/strong> couples, snorkellers and laid-back travellers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Special:FilePath\/CalaEscorxada%2002.jpg?width=1400\" alt=\"Cala Escorxada in Menorca with white sand and turquoise water\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\"><figcaption>Cala Escorxada, south coast of Menorca.

Its name comes from wood (<em>fusta<\/em> in Catalan): for centuries, coves like this served as natural landing spots to load firewood and timber from inland forests onto coastal boats. Today the pinewood remains, offering <strong>proper natural shade<\/strong> \u2014a rare luxury in unspoilt coves\u2014 and a small cave on the side that kids love.  <\/p>\n<p>The water is usually well sheltered from southerly winds and stays calm when other Migjorn coves have swell. Perfect for a long, unhurried swim. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Access:<\/strong> Cam\u00ed de Cavalls from Mitjana, passing Escorxada first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walking time:<\/strong> 60\u201375 min total from the Mitjana car park.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Services:<\/strong> none.

Quick first swim in Mitjana or Mitjaneta with the cove almost empty. <\/li>\n<li><strong>9:30<\/strong> \u2014 Cam\u00ed de Cavalls westbound: gentle climb through pines, viewpoints over the cliffs, and down to <strong>Escorxada<\/strong> (~50 min).<\/li>\n<li><strong>11:00<\/strong> \u2014 Short hop to <strong>Fustam<\/strong> (another 10\u201315 min). Long swim, pine shade and a picnic. <\/li>\n<li><strong>13:30<\/strong> \u2014 Easy return. Total: about 6\u20137 km, suitable for anyone used to walking. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With small kids, plan it only as far as Escorxada; with teenagers, the full route works well. And if the sea is calm, bring your snorkel mask: the rocky stretches between coves are like an aquarium. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"cala-pilar\">\n<h2>Cala Pilar: the wildest north face<\/h2>\n<p>We switch worlds. In Pilar the sand is golden with reddish streaks, dunes climb up the hillside, and the landscape feels like another planet: here the <strong>clays and slates of the north of the island<\/strong> crop out, Menorca\u2019s oldest materials. The contrast with the white southern coves is so dramatic that on my routes I often say crossing the island is like travelling 300 million years in half an hour by car.  <\/p>\n<p>The access walk crosses a shady holm-oak wood \u2014rare on the coast\u2014 and ends at a viewpoint where the cove suddenly appears, with the islet of <em>Ses Salines<\/em> in the background. With tramontana there\u2019s serious swell: that day, the south is better. With a southerly wind, though, Pilar is a mirror.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Access:<\/strong> signposted trail from the Cam\u00ed del Pilar car park (Me-1 road, turn-off at Alfur\u00ed).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walking time:<\/strong> 30\u201340 min with elevation (the return is uphill).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Services:<\/strong> none.

Its name probably comes from <em>pregon<\/em>, \u201cdeep\u201d in the island\u2019s old Catalan: the bay opens wide, deep and sheltered, with a string of islets that soften the swell and create a <strong>huge natural pool<\/strong>.

Escorxada, Fustam, Mitjana or Macarella are its daughters: turquoise water over a pale seabed, the \u201cCaribbean\u201d effect in photos. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Golden sand (north and west):<\/strong> a mix of sandstones and stream deposits. La Vall\/Algaiarens is the great example. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Reddish sand (north):<\/strong> Tramuntana clays and slates, the oldest materials in the Balearics (up to 400 million years old, from the Paleozoic). Pregonda, Cavalleria and Pilar owe their colour to this primitive Menorca. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This geological contrast \u2014two islands in one\u2014 is one of the reasons Menorca has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/voyagermenorca.com\/en\/menorca-biosphere-reserve\/\">Biosphere Reserve<\/a> since 1993.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"que-cala-hoy\">\n<h2>Which cove should I choose today?

Avoid flip-flops for access. <\/li>\n<li>Water (min. 1.5 L per person), fruit, and something salty. There are no beach bars. <\/li>\n<li>Sun protection: cap, sunglasses and <strong>biodegradable<\/strong> sunscreen (the posidonia will thank you).<\/li>\n<li>Light towel and bag for your trash. <strong>Leave the cove better than you found it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Mask and snorkel: in these four coves, they\u2019re always worth it.<\/li>\n<li>Let someone know your plan: coverage is patchy and in the low season you might be alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"faq\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I go by public transport?<\/h3>\n<p>In summer there are buses to <em>Cala Galdana<\/em> (to access Mitjana\/Fustam\/Escorxada) and to <em>Es Mercadal<\/em> or <em>Ferreries<\/em> for the north, although the last few kilometres to the northern car parks require a taxi or car. Check updated timetables before you go. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there mobile coverage?<\/h3>\n<p>Variable and sometimes limited in virgin coves. Tell someone your plan and check the weather before leaving. <\/p>\n<h3>Are they nudist beaches?<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no official signage: they\u2019re unspoilt coves with a mixed vibe where naturism is common and accepted, especially in Escorxada, Fustam and Pilar. Coexistence is natural and respectful. <\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best time of year?<\/h3>\n<p>May to October for swimming. June and September are the sweet spot: great water, long light, and quiet trails. In peak August, start early: at 9:00 you\u2019ll have the cove almost to yourself; at 12:00, you won\u2019t.  <\/p>\n<h3>Can I book a guided tour?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
