Cala Llucalari, Secluded beach cove in Alaior, Menorca, Spain.
Cala Llucalari is a small cove on the southern coast with rounded stones lining its shore instead of sand. The water is shallow and clear, and behind the beach lies a wetland area with meadows of Oceanic Posidonia.
The cove was shaped through geological processes that molded Menorca's southern coast over vast periods of time, influenced by sea inlets and water channels. These formations developed through thousands of years of natural coastal movement.
This cove is part of the Camí de Cavalls, an ancient path that once served to defend the coast and now draws people seeking quiet places away from main beaches. Walkers today experience the same route that protected Menorca centuries ago.
Parking is available at the nearby Son Bou beach, from where a coastal path leads about one kilometer to the cove. This location has no facilities like bars or showers, so visitors should bring water and provisions.
The cove shelters a wetland area behind its shore that supports rare species and is part of a protected marine environment. This mix of water and land makes it distinctive for those seeking nature beyond the typical beach setting.
