Cales Coves Beach in Menorca

Menorca Beaches: Cales Coves

From

This is not so much a beach as a tourist attraction with an interesting collection of burial caves. Access to the small sand and pebbled beach area is down an unmade road. There are about 100 caves around Cales Coves many of which have been carved into the cliffs. Some you can reach but some are inaccessible. If you have the time and energy check out Cales Coves smaller second bay by clambering over the rock head, then go for a dip in the bay's other fork. Nudists use the rocky shelves and cave entrances and swim in the waters of the coves.
