Macarella, Mediterranean beach in Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain.
This 140-meter-long beach presents white sand surrounded by limestone cliffs covered with dense pine forests reaching the shoreline.
The beach and its surrounding area maintain their natural state since ancient times, with minimal modifications to preserve the coastal ecosystem.
Local residents and visitors gather at the beach's pine grove restaurant, a meeting point reflecting the Mediterranean lifestyle of Menorca.
Two parking areas serve the beach: a paid option five minutes away and a free lot, with access through an unpaved road from Ciutadella.
The beach forms a U-shape with two distinct sections: the main Macarella beach and its smaller eastern counterpart, Macarelleta.
