Turqueta Cove

Cala Turqueta was the first cove we visited in Menorca and it was astounding. Fine white sand and blue transparent waters; it’s like a hidden paradise away from the rest of the world.

It’s located about 10km from Ciutadella very close to Macarella. There’s a public parking area to leave your car and a walking trail through the pines that takes no more than 15min.

It’s one of the most popular coves in Menorca so the best plan is to go early. Since we went in June, though, we had no problem finding parking and the cove wasn’t packed with tourists.

You can do a route starting at Cala Galdana to Cala Turqueta and then continue towards Cala Macarella.

I don’t know if I was influenced by the name, but with the fine white sand and sky-blue water, the whole cove is elegantly turquoise. It’s a must for those who love to visit hidden coves and even those who don’t. This cove is for everyone!
