Cala Pregonda

Cala Pregonda is one of Menorca's most striking anchorages, known for its reddish-golden sand and unusually tinted rock formations that give it a look unlike anywhere else on the island. It sits on the wild north coast within a protected natural area, so the surroundings are refreshingly untouched — no beach bars, no crowds, just rugged cliffs and clear water. You'll need to anchor off and dinghy in, and the best approach is from the west. Getting here takes a bit of effort, which is exactly why it stays so unspoiled.
