Cala Pregonda
North coast, near Es Mercadal
Given the half-hour walk from the nearest parking, very few people make the trek to this beautiful beach on Menorca’s northern coast – their loss, because it is one of the island’s most lovely and features a fabulous sheltered bay. There are spectacular rocks to climb and view and clear waters ideal for snorkelling. Jellyfish can be a problem at times.
Facilities None
Car park Ample but distant
Best time to go Any time
How to get there The route to Cala Pregonda is well signposted from Es Mercadal: look out for the brown signs for Cavalleria, Binimel-la and Pregonda, and Platges Costa Nord, which will lead you to the Cami de Tramuntana and the north coast. Park at Binimel-la, which is reached up a wide and only slightly rough track from the main road, and then hike the rest of the way, bearing westwards along the famous Cami de Cavalls horse-riding trail. Pregonda is a half-hour trek from the car park, but well worth the effort
