Cala Macarelleta — naturist cove
Ciutadella de Menorca, Menorca, Balearic Islands
A small white-sand cove beneath pine-covered limestone cliffs on Menorca’s south coast. The celebrated turquoise setting is shared by naturists and clothed visitors, particularly in summer.
Nudity policy
Clothing optional in the naturist area
Macarelleta is a traditional clothing-optional cove. It is distinct from the larger neighbouring Macarella beach and can have a high proportion of clothed visitors at busy times.
This is a public beach with mixed use; naturism does not make neighbouring streets, car parks or access paths clothing optional.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
Approach parking and amenities on adjoining textile beaches are described in the directions, rather than counted as facilities within the nude area.
Access & visiting
Public pedestrian beach access; no accommodation booking or naturist membership is required. Any car-park charge or seasonal transport reservation is separate.
Age & supervision
No numerical minimum age or explicit under-18 admission statement was found in the checked sources; this listing is not included in the Family friendly filter.
When to go
Open coast. Summer transport, parking arrangements and any seasonal beach services follow the current local timetable.
