A secluded strip of paradise
Cala’n Porter beach is sheltered by cliff faces from the breezes of the Mediterranean which means it is ideal if you’re planning a family holiday to Menorca with little ones who love to paddle. The beach begins shallow and slowly deepens, so grown ups can go for a proper swim while kids splash around and build sand castles back at shore.
The beach is as wide as it is deep but good things come in small packages, and you can be confident you won’t tire of Cala’n Porter beach in a hurry. If you make the trip – 200 steps down from the main resort – there’s little reason to leave all the day as you’ll be enjoying watersports, bars and great food at the restaurants lining the beach.
Day trips to the capital
Mahon, the cosmopolitan capital of Menorca, is just 25 minutes away. If you hired a car then it’s easy, if not – well, the bus is just as simple. Leaving from the centre of Cala’n Porter, it runs regularly throughout the week until 8pm. You can take advantage of the clubs, bars and live music venues in Mahon and take a taxi back, which will cost no more than 10 or 15 euros.
Once in the capital you have a huge range of things to do. The market stalls should be top of your list, because it is these that trade in all the local produce and goodies. They’re perfect for that last minute souvenir or bottle of gin to take home with you. If you’re looking for some truly great international and fusion, Mahon has you covered.
A child's dream come true
Cala’n Porter has the little ones’ interests at heart, and will provide them with hours of fun. In Cala’n Porter you will find go-kart tracks, roller-coaster-style rides and children’s play areas. If the older ones need something to keep them occupied, there’s a fantastic tennis court, so you can show them you’ve still got game.
For a quieter family activity on your package holidays to Menorca, there are scenic walks all around the south coast. Cala’n Porter is part of the Cami de Cavalls, which is a massive network of coastal paths and forest routes covering over 180 kilometres. You can explore these by foot, with bicycles or on horseback – it’s your decision.
A charming village
To top it all off, 20 minutes away from Cala’n Porter is the quaint village of Alaior. This photogenic town is famous for its shoe-making culture, which is concentrated around the Pons Quintana factory shop. Here you’ll learn all about why Alaior is regarded so highly for its handmade footwear.
If shoe-making doesn’t particularly grab you, the long winding streets of Alaior almost certainly will. They’re full of cute little boutique shops owned by locals. You’ll undoubtedly find something you can take home to treasure – a great memory of a holiday to Cala’n Porter.
