Detailed itinerary
1
Both at the departure and arrival of the boat ride, travelers will be able to enjoy the views of Fornells Bay, as well as stroll through its streets. Small fishing village with great gastronomic tradition.
2
During the walk we will pass near Cabo de Cavalleria, where we can see its characteristic Lighthouse, one of the most peculiar and the second oldest on the island. With its cliffs more than 90 meters high, it offers a spectacular panoramic view of the north coast.
3
As we pass by the Cavalleria Lighthouse, we can see an islet called "Illa des Porros", the northernmost point of the Balearic archipelago, an area of special importance and protection due to the colonies of birds and the native lizards that inhabit it.
4
Absolutely virgin cove, with limestone rock and crystal clear waters that allow you to clearly observe the seabed, and which has the peculiarity of being divided into three small areas of sand.
5
Stop 5
Pass by
Puerto de Sanitja, an ancient natural port that was located in the Roman city of Sanisera.
6
Cala Rotja is a great option to find some peace and quiet, especially in the summer months. Its name comes from the remains of red clay that come off its stones and give it this characteristic color.
7
It is one of the largest beaches on the north coast of the island. Virgin, surrounded by wild nature and always watched by the Cavalleria Lighthouse.
Here we will make the first stop of the excursion, if the sea allows it, to swim, relax and snorkel.
8
Stop 8
Pass by
Virgin beach little frequented due to its difficult access by land, fine sand with stones, which despite its great beauty, is a beach that goes unnoticed.
9
Cala Pregonda is one of the best-known and most appreciated beaches on the north coast of Menorca, of incalculable beauty and surrounded by movie-like landscapes that form a Natural Area of Special Interest.
Here we will anchor for approximately 30 minutes and you can swim, snorkel, use our paddle surf boards or simply have a mojito relaxing on board the boat.
