Cala Mitjana in Menorca

Located in the heart of the south coast of the island of Menorca, Cala Mitjana is one of those paradisiacal beaches that capture all the attention (and flashes) of those who visit Menorca again and again.

It is easily accessible, you can get there by car, bus, walking or with a boat trip. Take note because this is all you need to know about this jewel of nature.

If you want to get there directly I recommend you to book a boat trip around Cala Mitjana, the most comfortable option. They leave daily and not only cover this cove, but also others on the south coast of Menorca.

With all the luxury of amenities, food on board and plenty of time to take a dip and snorkel, vacations take on a much more premium feel when you tour the coves from the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.

Cala Mitjana is in the heart of the south coast of Menorca and is very well communicated with Ciudadela and other coves around it. These are the transports with which you can arrive.

By car

In spite of its paradisiacal aspect, Cala Mitjana is connected by car and it is easy to reach it. To give you an idea, it is about 20 minutes driving from Ciudadela.

It is surrounded by rock cliffs, a huge ravine and a lush pine forest, but you can park in the parking lot of Cala Galdana (which is very close and very well signposted) and walk for 20 minutes to get there.

Walking (from Cala Galdana)

Cala Mitjana is not one of those that require a long walk to reach it. It is easily accessible from Cala Galdana following a stretch of the famous Camí de Cavalls that leaves from the Mirador de Sa Punta and is approximately one kilometer long.

The walk is not long at all, there are sections adapted with a wooden walkway and it is not very steep. However, if you decide to do it in the middle of the day, do not forget a cap or hat, a bottle of fresh water and sunscreen.

By bus

Thanks to its connection with Cala Galdana through a stretch of the Camí de Cavalls, you can reach Cala Mitjana with any bus that stops in Cala Galdana.

Lines, schedules and frequency may change in high season compared to the rest of the year, so do not hesitate to check the official website of public transport in Menorca.

Enjoy the beach, its waters and white sand. You will not be able to dance or have a drink in any bar or beach bar, and there is no promenade either. Cala Mitjana and Cala Mitjaneta are totally virgin.

Therefore, they invite you to swim, snorkel and enjoy its underwater life, so don't forget your sunscreen and umbrella if you plan to spend several hours there!

To get the most out of its turquoise waters, it is best to spend at least one morning there. Of course, hundreds of other visitors to the island will have the same idea as you, so if you want to avoid crowds and find a place to park in the parking lot of Cala Galdana, go around 9:00.

If you do not like to get up early on vacation (I understand you perfectly), another option is to arrive around 13:00 or 14:00 hours, when some bathers begin to leave to go to eat and leave free spaces.

You can also arrive late in the afternoon to enjoy the colors of the sunset. You may not enjoy the bathing as much, but the tranquility and calm at that time of day will give it a special atmosphere.

As a good virgin beach, it has no beach bars, restaurants, showers or resorts. So be prepared and carry in a backpack everything you need because you will not be able to buy drinks or food on this beach.

Only what you have brought with you in a backpack or cooler. You will not find restaurants or beach bars, not even street vendors. My advice is to carry some food in your backpack and make the most of your time on the beach.

If on the other hand you prefer to go out to eat, you always have Cala Galdana at 20 minutes walking distance and there you will find all kinds of supermarkets, bars and restaurants.

One of the great attractions of Cala Mitjana is its little sister, Cala Mitjaneta, with which it forms a set of white beaches and turquoise waters that looks like something out of a Caribbean postcard.

Cala Mitjaneta, as its name suggests, is smaller than Cala Mitjana and there are usually fewer people bathing or sunbathing there.

It is in the area to the right of Cala Mitjana and you can only walk there in a few minutes. Get your camera ready!
