Beach Of Sa Caleta

The Beach of Sa Caleta, also known as Cala d'en Gorrias, is a small and popular beach located near Ciutadella on the west coast of Menorca, facing southwest.

The sand is white and fine, and the waters are usually calm with little to no waves, making it an ideal spot for children to swim. The clear and clean waters also provide the perfect setting for snorkeling, where visitors can observe a variety of marine life, including harmless fish that may nibble at dead skin or grazes. The beach is also a popular spot for boats to anchor offshore. A unique feature of the beach is the presence of a circular tower known as "Es Castellar," built during the British domination in 1799, which is visible as visitors approach the beach from the sea. Behind the beach, visitors can find a pine forest with picnic tables, benches, and a small area for playing football. The Beach of Sa Caleta offers a range of amenities to ensure a comfortable visit for all. These include a beach bar for relaxation, bathrooms, showers, and a supermarket located nearby. For those who prefer not to bring food, there is a restaurant/buffet in the vicinity. Parking at the beach is convenient, with available spaces near the beach. To reach the Beach of Sa Caleta, visitors can take the South roundabout from Ciutadella and follow the signs. While the beach can get quite busy, particularly during the peak summer months, it is reported to be less crowded in October. Regardless of the time of year, the Beach of Sa Caleta offers a serene and picturesque setting for a day at the beach.
