Cales Coves, Prehistoric beach complex in Alaior, Spain.
The beach area stretches 34 meters in length and features two swimming zones surrounded by limestone cliffs containing numerous natural caves.
During the Bronze Age, inhabitants transformed over 100 caves in the cliffs into burial chambers, establishing the largest necropolis in Menorca.
The cave system demonstrates ancient funeral practices of Menorca, with chambers carved into the rock faces serving as final resting places.
Visitors need to walk 850 meters from the parking area to reach the beach, which lacks facilities such as restrooms or food services.
The natural coves maintain exceptionally calm water conditions throughout the year, making them suitable for anchoring small watercraft.
