Cala Fustam

Última actualización: 20/08/2024

Fustam is a virgin beach in the south of Menorca totally isolated from the world.
It is probably the most hidden and lost cove of the south coast, especially because of its difficult access on foot or by bike.
It is located in the ANEI Me 13 (Natural Area of Special Interest).
Cala Fustam is the little sister of Cala Escorxada, but as it is smaller and not as beautiful it is very difficult to find people there, because if you have walked here, it is better to stay in Cala Escorxada.
The beach is about 25 meters wide and usually has some posidonia on the sand.
People usually access by boat to spend some time and return, so it is a beach quite suitable for those who value solitude and isolation above other things.

It is very difficult to find this beach as crowded as Macarella or Macarelleta.

How to get to Cala Fustam

To get there you have to follow the same instructions as to get to Cala Escorxada.
You can leave the car at 3 different points:

1. The parking lot of Cala Mitjana
2. Santo Tomás parking lot
3. The parking lot next to the cemetery of Es Migjorn Gran.

The hike from any of the parking lots is a real championship.
Do not forget to calculate at least 1 hour from any point and bring plenty of water if it is sunny (2l per person minimum), you will need it both on the way there and back.

Once There…

If you have reached Cala Fustam on foot or by bike, you are a true master of walking (although 1h seems little, in summer it is very long and tiring).

• If you come from Cala Mitjana it would be absurd not to walk 5 more minutes to Cala Escorxada and compare which beach you like best to stay.
• If you come from the other side, from Santo Tomás or Es Migjorn, it is not worth walking further to Trebalúger unless hiking is your thing.

Snorkel in Fustam Cove

As in almost any beach in Menorca, if you have snorkeling goggles it is worth taking a dip and inspecting the marine fauna.

• Remember that it is best to approach the sides of the beaches, where there are rocks, as this is where there tends to be more diversity.
