Cala Fustam, Menorca, Beach in Es Migjorn Gran, Spain.
Cala Fustam is a tiny white-sand cove in the south of Es Migjorn Gran, Menorca, where pine woods grow down to the shore. It lies within the ANEI protected area that runs from Binigaus to Cala Mitjana, a coast of cliffs up to 40 metres high. The beach is reached on foot from Cala Mitjana along the Camí de Cavalls.
The beach sits within a protected coastal conservation area established to safeguard this part of Menorca's shoreline. This designation reflects decades of efforts to keep the island's natural coastal spaces intact.
The name Fustam comes from the Catalan word for the white sand that covers the cove. The beach lies within the Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès (ANEI) that runs from Binigaus to Cala Mitjana, a protected zone where building is restricted. Walkers on the Camí de Cavalls pass by on their way between Cala Escorxada and Binigaus.
Reaching this beach requires a substantial walk from a nearby parking area along coastal paths, passing several other coves along the way. Wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water, as the journey on foot takes considerable time.
The cove's rounded shape and high cliff walls create unusual wind patterns within the space. Southern winds tend to be particularly strong here due to this natural configuration.
