Cala Presili
North coast, near Es Grau
Cala Presili, like its near neighbour Cala Tortuga, offers a picture-postcard view of the Favaritx lighthouse and very fine sand and bathing. Not surprisingly it is a very popular beach for naturists. It’s part of the Albufera des Grau, and as such is a biosphere reserve, renowned for its beauty and for its wildlife of all varieties. There are no facilities here, just natural beauty – please leave it as you found it. Since 2018 the only access to the beach in the summer months has been by bus from Mahon.

Follow the road until you reach a fork, and here turn right through a gate. About 200m before the lighthouse there is a roped-off parking area to the left. You will find signs a little further on, on the right, giving directions along the Cami de Cavalls to Presili and Tortuga; Presili is around a one-kilometre walk
