Cala Pregonda: How to Get There and Tips for Visiting

If you're planning your getaway to Menorca and dream of wild coves, reddish landscapes, and crystal-clear waters, Cala Pregonda is a must-see. This beach on the north of the island is one of the most special: its golden-reddish sand, volcanic rock formations, and the tranquility in the air make it a unique place. Here we tell you how to get to Cala Pregonda, what you should keep in mind to enjoy it to the fullest, and why staying nearby can make all the difference. 

Cala Pregonda: A Dreamlike Spot

Located on the northern coast of Menorca, in a protected area within the Northern Marine Reserve, Cala Pregonda is the opposite of southern coves: wilder, less accessible, and surrounded by a much more unspoiled environment.

Its peculiar reddish hue is due to the presence of minerals in the surrounding rocks, giving it a Martian look unlike any other beach in Menorca. In front of the cove, several natural islets protect its waters from waves, making the sea look like a calm pool.

There are no beach bars, umbrellas, or crowds here. Just nature, silence, and sea.
