Cala Escorxada, Mediterranean beach in Es Migjorn Gran, Spain.
Cala Escorxada is a sandy beach in Es Migjorn Gran bordered by pine forests and rocky formations. The cove has a crescent shape with several natural rock shelters along its perimeter.
The beach was designated as part of a protected natural area on Menorca's southern coast to prevent development. This protection has kept the area largely unchanged over recent decades.
The name refers to the rocky character of this coastal area. The beach serves as a quiet retreat where few visitors venture, preserving a sense of solitude and local connection.
Reaching the beach requires a walk of about one hour from Binigaus through forest trails, as vehicles cannot reach it directly. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the path winds through dense vegetation and can be uneven in places.
Natural rock caves dot the shoreline and offer shelter from strong winds and intense summer heat. These caves formed through natural erosion of the coastal rocks rather than human creation.
