Cala Galdana, one famous beach in Menorca

Probably, it's one of the most known and familiar beaches on the island. It's inside the homonym town, seven kilometres far away from Ferreries.

It has a lot of hotels and buildings from the touristic boom in the 70s. So the hotels spoil a little bit this natural beach. However, it has pure blue water.

It's inside a bay, protected by big cliffs and ravines, with forests on the top of them. This fact made that cove covered from mostly all wind directions, except south (Migjorn).

Rent a boat

We recommend it! One of the best things you can do is to explore Cala Galdana's surroundings. Many companies offer boat renting with cheap offers.

You can rent a boat which doesn't require a licence. However, you can also rent one bigger with its skipper in the same port. The location is between Audax Hotel and the bridge that goes to the beach.

You can also rent a kayak!

It's the cheapest option rather than renting a boat. The best point is that easy to drive, and you will be able to enter the most remote cliff corners.

The prices used to be per hour. It can be fantastic to explore the surroundings by kayak.
