Platja de Son Xoriguer, Mediterranean beach in Ciutadella, Spain
Description
Platja de Son Xoriguer is a sandy beach in Ciutadella with light-colored sand and clear Mediterranean water, measuring approximately 25 meters wide and 130 meters long. The beach sits directly between the waterfront restaurants and the town, creating a compact recreational space right at the water's edge.
History
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.
Culture
The beach restaurant serves traditional Menorcan dishes featuring fresh seafood caught locally and regional recipes from the Balearic Islands. Visitors sit by the water and experience how food connects to the sea and the island's way of life.
Practical
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.
Did you know?
Posidonia seagrass grows underwater and keeps the water exceptionally clear and healthy. These plants rarely come into view, yet they are the hidden reason why the water stays so transparent.
