Platja de Son Xoriguer, Beach in Son Xoriguer, Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain
Platja de Son Xoriguer is a shell-shaped beach in the south of Ciutadella de Menorca, 11 km from the town and next to Cala en Bosch. It consists of small coves that appear and disappear with winter storms, separated by rocks, with fine sand and clear water.
The beach developed as Ciutadella grew from a working harbor town to a modern city during the 20th century. Amenities were added gradually to serve both local residents and the increasing number of holiday visitors to the islands.
The beach takes its name from the Son Xoriguer estate on the Ciutadella coast, 11 km from the town and beside Cala en Bosch. It is a urban beach popular with local families, and its shell-shaped inlet catches enough swell for windsurfing, with board rental available on site.
Sun loungers, showers, and restrooms are available on the beach, along with waste disposal and an information kiosk at the waterfront. Access is straightforward and facilities are well-maintained and easy to locate.
The beach takes its shell-like shape from small coves that appear and vanish with winter storms, leaving rocks between them. It is one of Menorca's beaches with the strongest waves, which is why windsurfers gather here, and windsurf boards can be rented on site.
