General info: 

Cala Fustam is a tiny beach away from the crowds. The setting is beautiful with the white sandy beach located at the end of a narrow cove.

The water is clear and the turquoise sea against the limestone rock and pinetrees is a scene directly from a postcard. The access to this beach is not very easy which makes Cala Fustam one of the best beach hideaways in Menorca.

Getting there: 

Easiest to access by boat.

If you like hiking, you can hike along the coastal horse path called ‘Camí de Cavalls’ that bypasses the beach.

Closest car parks:
From Cala Mitjana car park the hike to the beach takes a little over one hour.
On the western side of San Tomas there is a car park and the beach is a little over one hour hike away.

Costs: 

The beach is free.
