Cala Galdana beach
Cala Galdana is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Menorca. The duration of the swimming season is 6-7 months. The beach is suitable for families and for extreme sports. The surroundings of the beach abound with beautiful natural landscapes and attractions that will be interesting to see for history-lovers.
Popular with tourists visiting the Spanish Menorca, the beach is formed by dried deltas of rivers and streams. And because of that, the beach with gentle shores is dotted with golden fine sand. Plain areas alternate with a bizarre form of small ravines formed by dried-up beds of fresh rivers flowing into the warm Mediterranean Sea.

Beach description
Thanks to the gentle slopes and the sandy bottom, couples with children chose the beach. Cala Galdana is no less popular among young people. Like other beaches in Spain, Cala Galdana is a municipal beach, and you do not need to pay to stay on the territory. However, travelers should be prepared for the fact that for the rental of a deck chair and an umbrella you still have to pay 2-3 euros a day. Given the picturesque surroundings and the high level of service, this is quite inexpensive.
You can get to the beach:
- by taxi from the airport;
- by rental car (the cost of renting a vehicle will cost about 9 euros a day).
The sandy beach closer to the central part of the island grows into a plain dotted with gentle hills with dense evergreen Mediterranean vegetation.
