If you already know the most famous coves in Menorca, it's time to go one step further. The island holds authentic natural treasures that only reveal all their magic when contemplated from the sea. In this post we take you to discover less crowded corners, perfect for a boat trip and to experience the most authentic Menorca.
1. Cala Morell and its sea caves
Located on the north coast, Cala Morell is known for its rocky and wild environment. From the sea you will be able to better appreciate its geological formations and access small sea caves ideal for a snorkeling stop.
The contrast between the deep blue of the water and the whitish cliffs creates a spectacular landscape, especially at sunset.
2. Cala Pilar, the reddish beach of the north
Also on the north coast is Cala Pilar, a virgin sandy beach with reddish hues, something unusual on the island.
Accessing by land involves a long walk, but by boat you can get there comfortably and enjoy its crystal clear waters in a much quieter environment.
3. Cales Coves, history and nature
In the south of the island, Cales Coves combines turquoise sea and historical heritage. Its rock-cut caves were used as a necropolis in the Talayotic period.
From the boat you can contemplate this unique enclave and anchor in one of the coves to swim surrounded by history.
4. Cala Escorxada, a hidden paradise
Less known than other beaches in the south, Cala Escorxada is perfect for those looking for tranquility.
Its difficult access on foot makes it an ideal place to visit on a boat trip. Its transparent waters and untouched natural environment make it perfect for snorkeling and relaxing away from the hustle and bustle.
5. The cliffs of Punta Nati
Very close to Ciutadella is Punta Nati, famous for its stunning sunsets.
From the sea, the cliffs offer a completely different perspective, showing the strength of the Menorcan landscape and the beauty of its rock formations.

Plus, you can get up close and personal with its "little sister", Mitjaneta, and enjoy shallow waters perfect for families.
7. The Punta Prima Lighthouse and the Isla del Aire
In the southeast area is the Punta Prima Lighthouse, in front of Isla del Aire. Sailing through this area allows you to contemplate an open and wild landscape, with clean waters ideal for a last swim stop before returning.
