Cala en Brut, Natural swimming cove in Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain
Cala en Brut is a small cove in Ciutadella de Menorca with crystalline turquoise water enclosed by tall white limestone walls on both sides. The narrow opening creates a sheltered inlet where visitors can swim in shallow areas near the entrance or deeper sections toward the center.
The cove was carved by natural erosion over thousands of years as part of the limestone formations that characterize Menorca's northwestern shoreline. These geological features have shaped the coastline since ancient times and continue to provide natural swimming sanctuaries.
The cove sits near Los Delfines resort area, where visitors can experience traditional Menorcan cuisine and local fishing practices throughout the year.
Metal ladders anchored in the rocks provide safe access to the water at different entry points. Parking is free near the entrance, and the walk to the cove takes only a few minutes.
The entrance is so narrow that the cove is barely visible from outside, making it easy for visitors to walk past without noticing it. Those who find it enjoy one of the least crowded swimming spots along the entire coast.
