Cala en Turqueta, White sand beach in Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain.
Cala en Turqueta is a small cove on Menorca's southern coast with fine white sand and intensely blue water. Pine forests edge the shoreline and extend down to the water's edge, providing shade.
The cove is part of Menorca, an island settled over time by Phoenicians, Romans, and the British. Its remote location has kept it largely removed from major historical upheavals.
Local residents maintain strict environmental protection measures to preserve the natural state of this Mediterranean cove for future generations.
Parking is limited and fills quickly during peak season; arriving early is advisable. The walk down to the beach is short, though few facilities exist on site.
Its name comes from the intense turquoise blue of the water, which glows especially on calm days. This feature gave the cove its distinctive name.
