Arenal de s'Enclusa — Arenal i Arenalet de s’Enclusa

VERY IMPORTANTUPDATE: From June 1st to October 31st it is forbidden to access by car to the parking of Favàritx. You can only access by bus, bike or cab.
The secluded beach of Arenalet de s’Enclusa is a small cove located in the north of Menorca next to the beach of Savinar de Mongofra. It is a very difficult beach to access by land and is usually quite empty even during the high season months.
The beach is about 40 meters wide and has a large amount of plant debris blown by the wind.
Thanks to the fact that it is surrounded by 2 magnificent beaches(Mongofra and s’Enclusa) and that the space to place the towel is small and with some stones, this beach is usually quite empty throughout the year.

How to get to Arenalet de s’Enclusa

Camí de Cavalls gate - start of the route — Camí de Cavalls gate – start of the route

To get to this beach you need to arm yourself with patience and be attentive because it is not easy if you go by land.
First you have to go by car, bike or on foot to the area of the Favàritx lighthouse, and take the Camí de Cavalls towards Fornells.
All along the way you will enjoy… a scorching sun and almost no shade.
Bring water!
After walking for about half an hour you will reach a small detour to the right.
The detour is between 2000 and 2200 meters from the beginning of the route.
It is not signposted so you will have to use a GPS or your instinct.
What you should know is that if you reach the Camí de Cavalls post number 40 of this section (the posts are numbered and ordered), you have missed this detour.

Once There

Congratulations if you have arrived, it is not easy!
You are in a remote, hidden place, and where only those who have a boat usually reach.
As you can see, there is absolutely nothing that reminds you of civilization (except for the boats that anchor in front).
No lifeguard, no water, no food of any kind, you are on your own.
In the sandy bottoms in front of the beach you can see manta rays swimming if you go a little further away, so if you have carried diving goggles and fins you have done very well.
