Cala Mitjana, Sand beach in Ferreries, Spain.
The 90-meter-long beach features white sand that meets turquoise waters, surrounded by low white cliffs and pine-covered hills reaching the shore.
This natural inlet on Menorca's south coast has remained untouched by modern development, preserving its original Mediterranean coastal configuration through centuries.
Local residents maintain the beach's natural state by limiting commercial activities and encouraging visitors to respect the environmental balance of the area.
Visitors can reach the beach through a 20-minute walk from the Cala Galdana parking area, with basic emergency services available on site.
The beach connects to its smaller neighbor, Cala Mitjaneta, creating a dual-bay system with different swimming and snorkeling environments.

Menorca offers remarkable coastal diversity. The island's 200-plus coves and beaches range from long sand stretches like Son Bou, Menorca's largest beach at roughly 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers), to small secluded coves like Cala Mitjana and Cala Mitjaneta. The northern coast presents reddish sand of volcanic origin at beaches like Cavalleria and Cala Pregonda, while the southern coast displays white sand and turquoise waters at places like Macarella and Turqueta. This geological divide makes the island an appealing destination for visitors seeking varied coastal environments. Some beaches like Punta Prima, Cala Galdana, and Arenal d'en Castell provide full facilities with restaurants, sunbed rentals, and water sports. Others like Cala de Trebalúger, Cala Escorxada, and Binigaus remain natural and undeveloped, accessible via coastal walking trails through Mediterranean vegetation. The sheltered position of most coves ensures calm waters suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Son Bou includes wetlands behind the beach and early Christian basilica ruins. Menorca's coastal variety, from the red cliffs at Cala Morell to the white sands at Son Saura, reflects the island's status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and provides options for different preferences.
The beaches of Menorca are known for their turquoise waters and fine sand. The coast alternates between natural coves and long stretches of sand. Access to these natural sites can be difficult, but the reward is worth the effort! The island, full of curiosities, offers opportunities to explore historic ports, coastal paths, seaside villages, and magnificent natural sites.
