Es Canutells Beach: a charming hidden cove on the south coast of Menorca
david guillen crespoIf you're looking for quiet beaches in Menorca , away from the crowds and with a natural setting that will surprise you, Es Canutells is a gem you can't miss. Located on the southeast coast of the island, just 10 kilometers from Mahón, this small cove combines beauty, history, and serenity in equal measure.
A beach hidden between cliffs
Cala Canutells is nestled in a narrow inlet between Punta de na Picada and Cap Gros , surrounded by impressive cliffs up to 70 meters high and covered in Mediterranean vegetation. At its foot, a small, 60-meter-long beach of light sand offers a secluded and uncrowded retreat, perfect for unwinding.
The sea at Es Canutells is a hypnotic turquoise blue, with crystal-clear waters and a fine sandy bottom, ideal for swimming and relaxing. On both sides of the cove, rocks and natural formations hide ancient caves that were once used as homes, adding an archaeological and mysterious touch to the landscape.
How to get to Es Canutells
You can get there by road, following the signs from Mahón and taking the detour to Sant Climent , a quiet town near the airport. Upon arrival, you'll find free parking, and from there, a staircase will take you directly to the cove.
