I had a car rented during my holiday on the island, but unfortunately I couldn't use it to rich Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarelleta. Starting with June until end of September the access to these two caves with car is impossible but with bus only. This is because the parking spaces are limited on these 2 beaches and the acces from the main road/highway to them is very narrow. So, the best way to reach to the beaches from whatever you are located in Ciutadella, Cala n Bosch, Cala Blanca is to reach the bus station "Via Perimetral" - Ciutadella . From here you can take bus Nr. 68 to Turqueta or bus Nr. 69 to Macarelleta. It cost 10 Euros per person covering both ways for each destination. Once arrived , you will need to walk for up to 15 min. through forrest to reach the sea. It s worthed, the water is pristine, beautiful colour, silence. Enjoy. Ps: Don t forget to return in time to your scheduled bus.

Conservative people beware, I did not expect so much nudity at a family beach. I could not even take pictures because there were always a topless person in the background, they were nice people but I was not comfortable. The beach is very small but water is warm and clear. Just a warning to families or conservative people like me.

Beautiful beach, lovely clear sea. Parking is bonkers! Go by bus and save the stress and hassel, we did and was the best way to get there and enjoy some hours. Does get very busy. 🔆🩴⛱️

Without a doubt the best cala in Menorca!! Don't hesitate more and go check it out, thank me later.
Fernando BM — Google review
We parked at Son Bou and walked the coastal path to Cala Turqueta. It took an hour or so each way but meant parking was easy. It’s a beautiful beach but was pretty busy, even in early October on a weekday.
Emily Flegg — Google review
Beautiful place to go. Try to be early (get there before 8AM) since it can be limited (mostly due to COVID measures). In high season, sometimes it can get full at 7:30. There's a small serving cafeteria at the parking with some snacks, although, bring your own is more recommended. A note on this beach: rather crowded and it smells a bit due to a mangrove at the back of the beach.
Francisco de Freitas (chicofranchico) — Google review
We came here on the last day of out vacation to watch the sunset (even through it was blocked by the landscape. The bad thing about this paradise is not only do you have to come here at 7 in the morning or at 6 in the afternoon, the beach is tiny!! There are two beaches, both of which are quite small which means you can only imagine how packed it is at midday when they close the parking because it's full. I recommend coming here in the late afternoon when people are getting ready to go out to dinner. Anyway, the beach was clean and there are nearby bins but (when we arrived) the water wasn't as clear as we imagined but I think that varies from day to day.

Cala en Torqueta is one of the most beautiful coves of the island, we reached it thanks to a boat excursion and we have no idea if outside the beach are available some kind of service, inside the beach there is only a lifeguard station and no more, you must have your own umbrella. The sand is white and there are lots of panoramic point where you can take photos and dive from it. This is one of the most recommended coves of the all island. You must see it.
Andrea Pizzorni — Google review
There is 20 mins walk to the beach. The parking is free but limited to probably 200. The parking is also attended and you will be guided to the next parking spot. At the car park there is bar which sales food/snacks and drinks (Only cash though). You can also take your shower there (1€ per minute of water in a coin drop in box). It is really worth to visit it. Bear in mind if the car park is full it probably means the beach is also packed up. But the water is usually really clear and the scenery is mindblowing - Thanks god for the best there is no concrete there....

Nice port come marina. Very nice little restaurants about too.
Colin Hewlett — Google review
Beautiful city. A bit expensive in the centre of town & of course by the harbour. The restaurants near the bus station are away from the bustle of the centre of town & cheaper. If you go by bus from the north it's more travel than sightseeing. The busses are cheap but have a lot of pick ups on route.

A Beautiful port that has amazing views & it's architecture & design is as in it's name suggests are antique. The port's surrounding areas are an eclectic mix of buildings that host businesses & housing , shops & of course the many seafood restaurants that are dotted along the port . The port has also some art & sculpture features that can be seen , tucked away in the quieter parts of the port's quarter & are worth looking out for as some are quite quirky & some are surrealistic & some are quite thought provoking , they all are quite tasteful & all add to the port's charm . The bridge at the port is an ideal place to have that special photograph taken together , for those romantic couples or just a happy memory snap , but a word of caution !! Please look out for vehicles as they also use the bridge !! . The port's well worth making the effort to see as there is so much too do here & most attractions are within walking distance & whether you like scenery , history or shopping or maybe fancy a meal at one of the many seafood restaurants then the Puerto Antiguo could be your next place visit on the beautiful island of menorca .

We enjoyed this place walked in from Cala Banes, we stopped for quite a few coffees over the week in different places all good and not expensive compared to home. Beautiful areas around the boats and the city has tiny cobblestone streets, fantastic just to see the architectural details in some buildings

Great place lots of historic buildings and a lovely market on a Saturday. Lots of bars around the bus station thats worth a visit. The gin slushy is a good drink to aid in refreshing yourself during a walk around. Definitely use the bus service its cheap clean and reliable. A great way to explore the rest of the island.

During daytime, it’s a basic port, boats going here and there. But during night time, it becomes another world, there are shops everywhere, people walking, you can (and should) take a little ice cream to eat while walking there!

We just love the old capital! We visited in May and it was so peaceful to walk the main streets and alongside the harbour. The shops were great & not expensive. Most cafés don’t mind you calling in for a drink but please ask as some prefer you to buy both food and drink. I would recommend sitting alongside or at the end of the harbour and watch the world go by! Also, please check out the local history. The cathedral is so peaceful and the historical houses are worth a visit too - all 5 euros each but please try to visit just one. Take your time and enjoy your surroundings!
Donna Tasker — Google review
Wonderful Cathedral - a haven of peace in the midst of the city Iconic building within the old historic centre of Ciutadella. Catedral de Santa María de Ciudadela is beautiful inside and out. It is well worth buying a ticket for here and the nearby Convent De Sant Agustí de Ciutadella as well as visiting the Bishop's Garden two doors down from the Cathedral. At 7 Euros this represents great value for money and you can return usuing the ticket throughout your stay. We also opted to attend for noon mass on the Sunday morning which allowed us to join with the locals in a worship service at which two children were celebrating their first communion.

Historic cathedral built around 1300 in Gothic style with two small towers. At night it is very nicely lit which adds to its charm. Additionally, it is probably one of the tallest buildings in the city.

Astonishing beach. Amazing place to swim and enjoy. We parked somewhere that it took 10-15 mins walk to the beach and was a bit frustrating as it was too hot. Have your water, drink, and snacks as there is nowhere closely to buy these.

Such a beautiful beach on the north of the island, with yellow and red sand. Its very quiet in the morning, I suggest to arrive there around 9am and you'll probably be alone! Parking is just 200mt from the beach.
Vins Prencipe — Google review
Very lovely beach and coastal area. Was fairly crowded when I went so keep that in mind, the beach is also quite small in general. Overall, would recommend anyone in the area to give it a go, well worth it!
Stratton Cahoon — Google review
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.

We liked this beach a lot despite being out of our way from Ciutadella. It is a beautiful sandy beach with lots of space. The water is beautiful although can get a little rougher than in other places. But our little one loved riding the waves ;-). It is still shallow enough and there is a great restaurant „Es Bruc Norte“ which we already loved down South. Would definitely recommend this beach to anyone who is looking for easy access (not the usual 15-40 min walk from the parking spots), space, white sand, clear water and amenities like restaurants and shops. We found it an ideal combination of remoteness and services.

Beautiful white sandy beach with warm, clear, turquoise water - it really does look like the Caribbean. Busy though, like everywhere on Menorca in the high season. No amenities so remember your water bottles!
Jessica Falk Perlman — Google review
As you drive to this location, you should see indications whether it is closed (too many people) or not. There are 2-3 other beaches in the area that indicate the same. If you are able to visit this place, there is a 10 minute walk from the parking area. The beach is long but very narrow. There isn't any 'chiringuito,' so pack in snacks/drinks.
Profesor Adams — Google review
This beach controls the numbers but as the other two near were full I decided to come. I loved it as it is narrow but a long stretch so everyone is near the water . It’s shallow so great for kids and the water was lovely and clear . There was a big of seaweed at the first part but keep walking for lovely Sandy access Be careful of the seagulls - one snatched my sandwich in a dramatic way !

Son saura is one of the most beautiful coves of the island, we reached it thanks to a boat excursion and we have no idea if outside the beach are available some kind of service, is also reachable by walking 1.30 hours from Cala en Bosc beach, inside the beach you must have your own umbrella. The sand is white and there are lots of boats moored near the beach. This is one of the most recommended coves of the all island. You must see it.

Your summer dreams come true ... at platges de Son Saura. Combines blue turquoise warm water with white sandy beach. Ideal place to swim, while you can see the beautiful boat, which form a line in the horizon, where the sea gets deeper. No shop, but that is a man selling delicious pineapple to enjoy eating at this dream place you will take home with you in your heart and mind. Perfect place to relax ... with free parking

Perfect afternoon beach stop when other, more popular beaches are full. Absolutely beautiful water and not crowded at all. Very short walk from the parking lot to the beach. The sand has a lot of debris but with your towel, there’s no problem. Worth a visit while in menorca!

Artrutx Lighthouse offers a delightful setting to enjoy coffee, beer or whatever your favourite tipple is. The lighthouse dates from the mid 1800’s & is a significant landmark on the landscape. You can dine in the large outdoor dinning area, which offers fantastic seascape views, the menu is varied & offers a great choice. The staff are friendly , accommodating & I would highly recommend you to visit.

Wonderful location for a drink as the sun goes down. On entry you pay 10 Euro each and that gives you a drink voucher for a drink at the bar. Music was playing through outdoor speakers but nothing offensive or too loud. Great atmosphere and a real find.

Great place to view the sunset. Ticket system that includes a drink (I think to ensure that people actually buy a drink) is a little cumbersome. Restaurant quite pricey.

The best kept secret on Menorca. The most fantastic sea views.fantastic decor and some soothing smooth Jazz playing Popped in for a drink and left two and a half hours later.

We went towards the end of the holiday season (mid September) and it was lovely. There's a side for dining and a side for drinks only. All buggy accessible and suitable for children. Lots of seating with stunning views all the way around the coast. Jugs of the best tasting sangria I've ever had were €20 and we got 2 large glasses each, between 3 of us. The soft drinks were fairly expensive at €7 for a small apple or orange juice. Worth it for the views and relaxing atmosphere though. Friendly service, lots of parking if you drive there and good toilet facility. We walked there and the roads are pedestrian friendly, very little road traffic and lots of pavement.

It is mind blowing, it's a trek (30 min) but it's well worth it! While you are walking there's a point of incredible peace. You see the ocean but you can barely hear it, it's like a murmur. So relaxing! Take your time and take it all in. The beach is clear, the sand is soft and is not too deep. Incredible, just incredible.

Sleepy coastal small town. Appears to be in the process of being developed into a pretty nice and exclusive resort, with new roads, white washed houses and a few restaurants. Doesn't appear much going on here but there is a small beach, some restaurants and the bronze age necropolis caves. There is a bus to here from Ciutadella, so it is accessible by public transport. Also on the Cami de Cavalls coastal walk.

(Translated by Google) Place not very frequented by tourists especially in September, excellent for snorkelling, bring a mask and shoes for the stones because if you go to the sea from the beach you will find rocks, otherwise you have to go down some stairs along the sides of the coast, good sunset. Fascinating place but only for a few. There in the area there is an archaeological site and a path that walks on a mountain ridge referred to as cani de cavall ruta. (Original) Posto non molto frequentato dai turisti soprattutto a settembre, ottimo per lo snorkeling, portatevi una maschera e scarpette per le pietre perché se vai al mare dalla spiaggetta troverai delle rocce, altrimenti devi scendere da alcune scale lungo i lati della costa, buon tramonto. Posto affascinante ma solo per pochi. Lì nella zona c'è un sito archeologico e un percorso che cammina su un dorso della montagna indicato come cani de cavall ruta.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful cove, very little sand, characterized by platforms to put your towel on and crystal clear waters. Very good place to snorkel. There are boat entrances and exits. (Original) Una Cala preciosa,muy poca arena,se caracteriza por las plataformas para poder poner la toalla y las aguas cristalinas. Muy buen sitio para hacer snorkel. Hay entradas y salidas de barcas.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cove, one of a kind but not for everyone. Personally, I fell in love with this place but if you love large sandy beaches, leave it alone. But there is more besides the sea: a walk that takes you overlooking the open sea in front. All very well looked after, amazing view, equipped with services. Also not to be missed is the Taleolithic village in the upper part of the town. (Original) Bellissima caletta unica nel suo genere ma non per tutti. Personalmente mi sono innamorata di questo posto ma se siete amanti delle grandi spiagge di sabbia lasciate stare. Ma oltre al mare c’è altro: una camminata che ti porta a picco sul mare aperto di fronte. Tutto molto curato, vista pazzesca, fornito di servizi. Da non perdere anche il villaggio taleolitico nella parte alta del paese.

(Translated by Google) This cove is about 15 minutes by motorbike from the center of Ciutadella. Honestly, it's worth the view if you have half an hour to waste. I advise against Cala Algaiarens and the Far de Punta Nati lighthouse. (Original) Questa caletta dista circa 15 minuti di motorino dal centro di Ciutadella. Sinceramente merita la vista se avete mezz'oretta da buttare. Vi sconsiglio cala Algaiarens e il faro Far de Punta Nati.

(Translated by Google) This cove captures the charm of Menorca 🏝️ Its rocky beach has different basking areas or platforms to bathe and sunbathe ☀️ as well as a small sandy beach 🏖️ Diving or snorkeling 🤿 on this beach is essential 🤩 there are many fish 🐠 I invite visitors and tourists to come to take care of the beach so that it remains this beautiful for a long time to come 💙 for example: using biodegradable sunscreen to avoid contaminating the water ♻️ (Original) Esta cala recoge el encanto de Menorca 🏝️ Su playa rocosa cuenta con diferentes basking area o plataformas para poder bañarte y tomar el sol ☀️ además de una pequeña playa de arena 🏖️ Bucear o hacer snorkel 🤿 en esta playa es fundamental 🤩 hay muchísimos peces 🐠 Invito al visitante y turista que venga a que cuide de la playa para que siga siendo así de bonita mucho tiempo más 💙 por ejemplo: usando crema solar biodegradable para no contaminar el agua ♻️

Absolutely blown away by the sheer scale of this place! €15 for the 3 of us isn't bad for a good 2 hour visit, which is what they say it will take if you follow the normal route around. My son loved the labyrinth and just exploring all the nooks and crannies. Well worth a visit!
Clara Lewis — Google review
What an amazingly beautiful place! Hours can be spent exploring, getting lost, finding natural treasures, gorgeous views and little shaded nooks to have a rest and a drink of water in. Bring your family with children and prepare to see their curiosity sparked. Bring a picnic basket and a date and you'll have the most romantic time ever. Highly recommended!
Nikolaj Falko — Google review
Stunning place, worthy to see but beware the heat if you're coming during summer! A great discovery for our first day on the island, we took a bit more than an hour but you can take as long as you want, it's so interesting to get lost between the stone and the vegetation (+1 for a very friendly cat that we met)... Parents know that your kid may wander but don't worry everyone seems to get lost at some point here (I think it's part of the experiment)... we loved the great labyrinth and it's very poetic message, would visit again and again!
Salomé Gotman — Google review
Curious place though expensive in my opinion - 12€. At some routes I enjoyed more vegetation rather than rock views. Many of these rocks have been used in construction of the island.
Laura L — Google review
Utterly stunning reclamation from industrial wasteland into a place of beauty and tranquility. This was a 45 minute walk out of town from our hotel, but well worth it. It is difficult to explain how wonderful the transformation has been at this site. Formerly a disused limestone quarry, which since 1994 has been turned into a large series of gardens in a labyrinth of quarried stone.
David Currie — Google review
Great historical place... We needed much longer than planned as every corner deserved a moment. Not crowded at all, friendly people at the info point (reception).
Santiago Peirano — Google review
An amazing place to explore if you have a lot of time on your hand. If you are in rush just skip this place as hands down it’s going take at least 2 hours out of your schedule. This place has an amazing maze, beautiful gardens, and some classic vintage work. The entry was around 7 euros i.e 5 pounds for adults, it’s a little cheaper for senior citizens. Parking is free and they have 2 sides on the left and right of the entrance where you can park. Be extra careful if your taking your pets along with as the pathways are very narrow and you may come across alot of tourists and watch out for wasps.
Creation Shares — Google review
Hard to find you need a hire car etc They had no Internet when we went so take euros. Takes around an hour to go round. Very good.
Karen Dalton — Google review
It's a limestone quarry of the old days, and kept in wonderful shape to continue and preserve the experience. It is a walk of about an hour or longer depending on how often you take the time to make use of the panorama view points along the route and alternative side options along the way. The quarry is something you will not easily encounter anywhere else, certainly not in the immensity and impressive sight you have here. Worth a visit or detour when on Menorca! On sunny days protect yourself from the sun, but there are sites under the trees while walking the tour. There are cold drinks to take away at the reception.
Freddy de Bree — Google review
Cool place to explore whilst we were in the area, you don't realise how big the area is until your there! Great place for photos! The only downfall was along some paths we suddenly came across about 2 wasp nests which you had to walk within a meter of to get through. But the gardens were lovely and there's so many little hidden nooks to explore- you could definitely get lost here of you had a lot of time to kill! It was lovely!
Nicole Rounding — Google review
This is an amazing hidden gem. I was really in awe of the extent that this old quarry has been transformed into something quite beautiful. The different gardens and natural features were breathtaking. We went with a 6y and 1y old and it was fine with a buggy and enough to explore for the elder child. There are plenty of shady spots but do take plenty to drink on a hot day. Children under 12 are free too which was a bonus
Zoe Russell-Hobson — Google review
A must when you visit Menorca, there is an entrance fee (7euros) and please check their visiting hours before visit. You'll be provided with a map of the site so you can easily navigate the site. A maze at the bottom of the quarry which was amazing. You'll spend a minimum of 1hour wondering this site. Enjoy!

Fascinating ancient building / burial chamber. It was free entry the day we went, with free parking at any time. I like how it is totally uncommercialised , a few explanatory boards to make you aware of it's history and left to wander around without restriction. You can't enter it but can see inside through the entrance with the aid of a torch. Half hour is plenty,, it's right on the Me-1 so a place to visit on the way to or from elsewhere (it's very close to the Ithaca quarry) but well worth the stop.

Cool to see the pre-roman Taliotic history of Menorca. This burial site is between 3/4 thousand years old and is worth a visit if passing, the signs give great detail about the site. Also worth noting that a visit on a Monday or Tuesday is free (otherwise €2).
Oliver Gilbert — Google review
The most disappointing historical site we visited in 2 weeks and it cost 2 euros. Only thing here is a rebuilt tomb (locked) and a ticket office. Way better things to see for free.

An incredible location and a monument to the people of Menorca who have helped to preserve it for countless generations for thousands of years. Worth a visit, just off the main spine road, €2 per adult. You can only wonder how many ancient eyes have been to see this site. Quite simply awesome.

Large stone tomb from about 1400bc which has been renovated but still really impressive. 2€ each so well worth it. Easily accessible from the main Mahón to Ciutadella road.

more like 40 mins to get there but 100% worth it. the hike is nice and the beach is absolutely perfect. it was really not crowded the whole afternoon even though it was a very sunny saturday. really amazing time. nb : there was a lot of waves though, not high but to be noted for the people who don’t really enjoy them.

I have given the beach a average rating as we could not get to the area as the road was closed due to road works. The problem was we had already driven some distance and couldn't be bothered to take another route. We did hear it's the best beach to visit on the island but we didn't get chance to see it

A nice spot and viewpoint, after you drive a long straight road, up to mid point, there is no entry of the car. So have to park the car at the car park and then walk around 10-15mins to the entrance of the lighthouse. The gate closes.

Pretty remote location, you drive a few kilometers on a narrow road and then have to walk another 1000 meters before you get to the lighthouse, which doesn't seem to be open to the public. Climbing over a wall you can walk around it to the cliffs, where you are rewarded with stunning views of the coast line and the sea.
Marco Kaiser — Google review
Just under 1 mile walk from the car park to the lighthouse, which has a wall round it. Fortified buildings close by look like gun posts. Surrounding area is very rocky with no trees. Saw loads of wildlife, including peregrines, kites, stone curlew & lizards.
ron deacon — Google review
Elegant location with some knockout sunset spectacles. This lighthouse is secured and does not permit public to enter through however there is a pathway just besides the lighthouse walls that you have crawl/hop onto if you want to explore more.(it’ll be worth it) The way to get to this place is to walk a good 20-30 mins walk from the car park, the footpath is good and at the car park you will find ample of place to park. Parking is free.

Lovely spot to watch sunset. However be prepared for it being busy,the car park being full (park on road) and a 1km walk from the carpark.

The lighthouse is quite ugly, and it is far away, first by car and then walking 1 km. To sum up, you can see the same gorgeous sunsets from many others more accessible points.

We adventure there from Cala Santandría with bikes on a pretty windy day, and survived!! Once you get there it looked closed but you can just jump around it, not getting inside the perimeter of the lighthouse itself. The rocky built of the cliffs are stunning, and the windy day gave us a breathtaking experience with the waves crushing on the rocks. It was magical.

Drop the car at the carpark and walk the last few hundred metres to the lighthouse. No access to it but you can walk around it and it's spectacular setting.

Was really surprised with how much there was to see her, and all for free!! This would never happen in the UK! There is parking on the road and you just walk through the gates and then you can just wander where you want. Everything is open, no restrictions or safety barriers. The caves and tombs are remarkable, to think they are over 1500 years old! We spent a good hour there. Well worth a visit and then head down to La Morrell beach and have a swim!
