The best time to visit is between May and October when the weather is pleasant. Visitors are advised to bring their own food and umbrellas as amenities are limited.
The beach's gravel and golden sands have a reddish hue characteristic of the northern region of Menorca. It is located near Punta des Carregador and Els Alocs cove, with s'Escull de Cala del Pilar island in close proximity.
