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.

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.
