Cavalleria Beaches, Sand beach on northern coast of Menorca, Spain
Cavalleria Beaches are sand beaches on Menorca's northern coast, with golden sand creating a natural color gradient along the shoreline. The sand meets reddish rock formations that define the coastal edge.
A Roman trading settlement called Sanisera operated here from the first to sixth century, making this bay an important port in ancient times. The ruins of this settlement lie nearby and mark the area's early human occupation.
The beach forms part of the Camí de Cavalls, a traditional coastal path used by locals for generations that connects different coves along the island. This old route reveals how people have long explored and moved through this coastline.
A rough walk of about 15 minutes leads down from the free parking area to reach the beach. Visitors should bring water and snacks, as there are no cafés or food services available at the beach itself.
The beach has a northwestern section with reddish sand that locals have long used for its special properties. This coloring sets this part apart from the rest of the bay and is something visitors notice right away.
