The Lovely Beaches of Cala Pregonda, Son Bou, Cala en Turqueta
December 27, 2008
Cala Pregonda is situated west of Fornells on the North coast of Menorca in a protected area of natural beauty. The beach is accessible on foot and is about 20 minutes walk from Binimella. Cala Pregonda is a stunningly beautiful sandy beach with rock formations and hills coated in Pine and Tamarisk. No facilities are available here but your efforts will be well rewarded with an outstanding beach with excellent conditions for swimming.
Son Bou is a long beach with plenty of sand dunes, freshwater marshes filled with ducks and a lagoon near by. Excellent water sports facilities are available here although you should take care to check the conditions for swimming as there are dangerous currents at times. Out to the west of Son Bou you will find an area for nude bathers. Take the road south from Alaior to reach Son Bou. On your way to Son Bou look out for the caves in the cliffs as you pass thru the tunnel that are to this day inhabited by Homo Sapiens.
Cala en Turqueta is a lovely sandy cove close to the old city of Ciutadella on the south coast of Menorca. It is fairly secluded with only a few amenities available such as the car park only a 5 minute walk from the beach. Head towards the chuch at Sant Joan which is about 6kms from Ciutadella. Then follow the signs marking the route to Cala en Turqueta. This route will also give you access to the more secluded Cala des Talajer and the Cova des Moro. Stop at the Talaia d’Artruxt is for breathtaking views out towards the neighbouring island of Majorca.
