The Son Xoriguer beach is in the urbanization of Son Xoriguer, very close to the marina of Cala en Bosc.

Son Xoriguer is a beach very frequented by tourists and families for its extreme ease of access, so if you are looking for tranquility and exclusive coves it is clear that this is not your place.

In this beach you will be able to do quite a lot of water activities, since there are businesses oriented to tourists at the foot of the beach.

How to get to Son Xoriguer

You can get to Son Xoriguer from Ciutadella by car, motorcycle or bicycle in a super easy way.

Simply take the road that leads to the Cap Artrutx Lighthouse, and once you see the signs for Cala en Bosc or Son Xoriguer, follow them until you reach the free parking (there are 3 parking areas along the beach, that’s why there are always so many people).

If you are on the beach of Son Xoriguer it’s probably because you’ve opted for comfort and don’t mind too many people or tourists, so the best thing you can do is enjoy the sun and sea, and maybe some diving.

You also have restaurants and all kinds of services if you feel like eating or having an ice cream.

  • The beach has a lifeguard.

Fly over the Sea with FlyBoard – 75/person 20 minutes

Flyboard at Son Xoriguer

At Son Xoriguer beach you can try FlyBoarding. The Flyboard is a rigid platform connected to a jet ski that allows you to float on the water and move forward in the air.

  • The first 5 minutes are learning, and when you get the hang of it you have a great time and it becomes a little short.

Take a Hike Along the Camí de Cavalls (GR 223) to the Cova des Pardals

Wharf at Cova des Pardals

If what you want is something different, I 100% recommend you start walking along the Camí de Cavalls (GR 223) towards Cala Parejals and the Cova des Pardals.

  • Cala Parejals is a small cove where there’s almost never any sand, and even when there is, only a couple of people fit (hence its name: pareja – parejals).

Once you’ve passed over Cala Parejals (the Camí de Cavalls (GR 223) passes above Parejals), you’ll reach the Cova des Pardals. This cave was built by the former owner of the house so he could sail his boat right up to the hut itself. I have no sources on this, but more than once I’ve heard that smuggling was a common thing thanks to this little wharf.

Es Canutells en verano

Es Canutells

Menorca

Es Canutells is a small beach in the south of Menorca located between Cales Coves and Binidalí that is almost always empty because its sand is very wet. The reason it is wet even in summer is that there is a small torrent that flows into the beach. Actually, Canutells is formed by two coves, the main cove of about 50 meters long by 30 meters wide, and another tiny cove of only 3×10 meters. When I have gone to Canutells I have stayed in the small cove, as I find it more pleasant.

Sa Farola Beach – Cala des Frares

Menorca

The beach of Sa Farola, also known as Cala des Frares, is a tiny cove located very close to the port of Ciutadella.
It is a very very small beach with hardly any sand space for towels.
Most of the bathers use the concrete platforms built around the sea.
This beach is very well protected from the wind, so the water is always calm.
In addition, from 2021 the entry of boats to this area has been banned.
It has been a drastic measure to protect the posidonia meadows on the seabed in the area.
If you end up on this beach, it is most likely because you are walking along the magnificent Paseo de Sa Farola, which connects Ciutadella with Cala en Blanes along the coast.
