Cala en Brut, Natural swimming cove in Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain
The 75-meter-long cove features deep turquoise waters surrounded by white limestone cliffs, with platforms for sunbathing on both sides of the inlet.
This inlet forms part of a network of natural coves that line the northwestern coast of Menorca, shaped by centuries of Mediterranean wave action.
The cove sits near Los Delfines resort area, where visitors can experience traditional Menorcan cuisine and local fishing practices throughout the year.
Access to the water is provided through metal ladders attached to the rocks, while free street parking is available within a five-minute walk.
The natural rock formations create an enclosed swimming area that resembles a pool, with water depths reaching over 3 meters at the center.

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.
