Cala Blanca in Menorca

Although it is not the perfect destination for those looking for a day at the beach in solitude, Cala Blanca is a very comfortable beach, especially if you stay nearby, as there are plenty of options to stay. Do you want to know in depth all the options Cala Blanca has to offer? Keep reading!

Cala Blanca is in the west of Menorca, only 5 minutes by car from Ciudadela. You can get there quickly and comfortably. I will tell you about all the options below:

By car

Less than 4 km from Ciudadela you will find Cala Blanca if you follow the road to Cap d'Artrutx. As it is a fairly urbanised urban cove, you can quickly find a place to park in one of its car parks.

Walking

If you are staying in one of the hotels or flats, the best thing to do is to walk to the beach. This beach is very comfortable and easy to access, which makes it very popular, especially with families.

By bus

Thanks to its location, there are several bus lines that will drop you off near the beach itself. I recommend that you check the Menorca transport website to find out which bus line is best for you and what their timetables are.

Cala Blanca is not one of the main tourist attractions on the island. Being an urban beach it doesn't have the charm of some of the unspoilt beaches found in the south of Menorca, so it's not as easy for boat tours to get here. My advice is to enjoy the beach, as it is easily accessible, and on the day you want to take a boat trip, do so to discover the best unspoilt coves of Menorca.

In Cala Blanca you can enjoy a comfortable and relaxing day at the beach. It is usually very crowded but its proximity to the different urbanisations and hotels in the area means that it is usually quite saturated. Perhaps it is not the best place for snorkelling, as despite its crystalline waters, the large volume of people means that the marine fauna is not particularly concentrated in this area. If you want to snorkel in Menorca, it's best to go in search of more natural, unspoilt spots.

It's best to get to Cala Blanca early in the morning to find a good spot and spend the rest of the day in peace and quiet. It shouldn't be too hard to park (and if you're staying there you won't have that problem) but the beach is usually very busy during the day, so you'll be thankful you got there early.

Cala Blanca has everything. It has several options for accommodation in the area (if you want you can check availability at Apartamentos Cala Blanca) and along the urbanisations you will find green areas, playgrounds, supermarkets... The beach has a lifeguard service.

Around the area you will find different options for all tastes and budgets. I would highlight Cas Safra Gastrobar, the favourite of visitors to the area, but you will also find good quality in other bars and restaurants such as Miramar or Cala Blanca.

Visiting Cala Blanca with the whole family is a great option if you are looking for a comfortable day at the beach, with all kinds of services nearby. Access to the cove is very easy and the little ones will appreciate staying in the area.
