General info: 

Cala en Turqueta is a ridiculously beautiful Menorcan white sandy beach in a picturesque setting. The right side of the beach is dominated by limestone rock but not in as dramatic way as for example in Cala Macarella&Macarelleta. The rocks here are shallower.

The water is fantastically clear and also rather shallow so the beach is good for families with children. There are no facilities so bring everything you need.

The tour boats stop by near this beach occasionally so if you want to avoid those, be informed.

Getting there: 

The free car park is about 850m from the beach. There is also a paid car park 120m from the beach but when we went there it was not open. So better prepare for some walking. And as the car parks are likely to be rather full…

Costs: 

The beach is free.
