Biniancolla is a very picturesque cove
You may be used to relating Menorca with paradisiacal beaches of fine white sand; however, the island also has other places that transmit good energy to all its visitors, like Biniancolla.
Only local people used to bathe in this little-known cove. Therefore, Biniancolla is interesting if you are looking for a quiet and traditional place in Menorca.
Unlike other coves, Biniancolla has some sand on the shore. However, local people usually stand on small stones and the dock. Former fishermen built these structures in the '60s.
Biniancolla belongs to Sant Lluis
Biniancolla is a tiny coastal village in the southeast of Menorca. The coastline also has other beaches from Sant Lluis municipality, such as Cala Torret and Punta Prima.
They all have similar morphology, with small rock cliffs and crystal clear turquoise waters.
It has a small port or dock
Many years ago, the village of Biniancolla was much smaller , and only fishermen lived there. Over the years, private boats have increased, and today it is a slightly more touristy place. However, it remains to be a place of local traditions.
The dock has about 20 boats (mostly Menorcan llauts). Biniancolla's weak point as a port is that ships can only moor in summer. During the winter, the wind is strong, and the boats are taken out or moved to a safer port.
Be careful with the Rock!
If you go to Biniancolla by boat , remember that very close there is a dangerous reef for navigation. It is called l'Escull d'en Caragol.
Undoubtedly, you will be able to see it: it has a small lighthouse on top.
The houses are white and traditional
If something stands out about this coastline, it is its houses. No more than two flats high, small all-white villas were built many years ago. Many of them overlook the sea , a privileged place to live.
It is an exceptional place to see the Sunset since the sun sets in the west. The coast is rocky and virgin, an ideal romantic and economic plan to go with your couple.
Explore Biniancolla in Paddle Sur!
The alternation between coastal villages and the wild coastline makes Paddle Surfing an excellent option for exploring the area.
You can book a Paddle Surf excursion to Biniancolla and discover the most secret areas, such as Caló de s'Oli, Na Blanca and* Caló de l'Amo Benet.*
Don't forget to bring some diving goggles and fins; you can see a lot of fish in the caves.

2. En Caragol
Es Caragol is a restaurant 3 minutes walk from Cala Biniancolla. It has a lovely terrace , and despite not being on the beach, it has good views of the south coast.
