Cala en Porter
Última actualización: 20/08/2024
The beach of Cala en Porter is a small cove on the south coast of Menorca.
It is not a particularly nice beach, and being located in the urbanization of Cala en Porter it tends to be quite crowded on summer vacations, since the access to it is very easy. The best of Cala en Porter are undoubtedly its facilities and services available.
Next to the beach you have many restaurants and in the same cove there are showers and lifeguard.
In addition to all this the parking is a few meters from the sand making it ideal for people who can not or do not want to walk.

Once There…
The main characteristic of this beach is its proximity to the Cova d’en Xoroithe most famous discotheque of Menorca.
For the rest, it is a beach of the most ordinary (ordinary for the landscapes that Menorca has), and it does not have the charm nor the beauty of other beaches of the south like Turqueta or Macarella.
Visit the Famous Cova d’en Xoroi
The best option to visit this beach is to take advantage of an afternoon visit to the Cova d’en Xoroi: you go to the beach at noon and in the afternoon to the Cova d’en Xoroi to have a drink on the terraces.

Visit the viewpoint of Cala en Porter
It is also almost mandatory to visit the viewpoint above the beach.
You have to climb some stairs that are on the left side of the beach (facing the sea).
At the top of the stairs there is a lookout area from which you can see the beach and the spectacular cliffs.
There are benches to sit and relax watching the scenery or just eating an ice cream in the sun.
Incredible!
