Cala Viola

Cala Viola is a compact beach measuring approximately 328 feet (100 meters) long and 75 feet (23 meters) wide, featuring coarse sand mixed with gravel that does not stick to skin easily.

The Cape of Cavalleria, near Cala Viola, has served as a navigational point for sailors and fishermen throughout Menorca's maritime history, with its lighthouse constructed in the late 19th century and still operational today.

Cala Viola is known as a naturist-friendly beach where visitors seeking a clothing-optional experience can enjoy the quiet setting, though discretion and respect for other beachgoers are important due to its informal nature.

Cala Viola has no lifeguard services, facilities, or concession stands, so visitors should bring water, snacks, sun protection, and all necessary supplies, and arrive early to secure parking near the beach during summer months.

The beach lies within the Northern Marine Reserve of Menorca, where snorkelers can observe moray eels, groupers, and seahorses among rocky underwater caves and formations protected by conservation measures against overexploitation.
