Cala Pudenta, Hidden beach in Es Mercadal, Spain.
Cala Pudenta is a small beach on the northern coast of Menorca with a pebble shore and limestone cliffs framing the water. The cove measures about 50 meters across and stays undeveloped with no buildings or facilities nearby.
The shore formed through natural coastal processes and remained used by fishermen for centuries without any buildings or permanent structures. This unchanged character preserves what the Menorcan coast looked like in earlier times.
The shore here stays largely untouched by development, which means you can see how the coast looked generations ago when fishing was the main way people used this water.
The path to the cove follows a simple walking trail from a small parking area, taking about 15 minutes on foot. Bring water and snacks since there are no shops or restaurants once you arrive.
The cove connects to rocky formations beyond where the seafloor and stones shift with tidal currents. This movement creates different terrain depending on when you visit.
