Macarella

Macarella is a beach in Ciutadella de Menorca with white sand nestled between high limestone cliffs. Pine trees cover the surrounding slopes and extend down toward the shoreline, creating a sheltered setting.

The beach has remained in its natural state since ancient times with minimal changes made to it. This preservation approach reflects a long-standing commitment to keeping the coastal landscape undisturbed.

The pine grove restaurant at the beach serves as a gathering place where locals and travelers experience the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle of Menorca. People linger under the trees with food and drinks, making it a social hub where the island's relaxed pace becomes visible.

Access is via an unpaved road from Ciutadella, with two parking options: a paid lot about five minutes away and a free area nearby. Arriving early on warm days is wise, as parking can fill up quickly.

The cove has a distinctive U-shape with two separate beach sections: the larger main area and the smaller Macarelleta to the east. This division creates two distinct coastal environments that maintain their own character despite being close neighbors.
