Small cove on the southern coast that preserves traditional fishermen’s houses.
Binisafúller beach, better known as Binisafua and located in the south of the island, is 5.5 km from the town of Sant Lluís, between Caló Fondo and Biniparratx. It is a semi-urban beach resulting from a U-shaped inlet, with a white sand bottom and a rocky and low shoreline, with crystal-clear and calm water, ideal for diving, characterized by its small size with a low influx of bathers and its exposure to the waves from the southeast. The old fishermen’s cottages, located on the left and right of the beach, together with the palm grove that closes the ravine, are the main charms of the beach. In addition, it has a ramp for bathers and so that boats can be launched into the water. On both sides of this enclave, there are other bathing areas such as El Caló Blanc, which is the smallest cove in Menorca, which is only 5 metres long and stands out for its clean, turquoise and crystalline water, typical of the beaches on the south coast. If the sailor comes to a cove outside this bay, he should pay attention to the slab known as “Llosa d’enmig”, almost emerging with a calm sea.
For those who prefer to access by land, there is free parking in the surrounding area. Access is easy and very well signposted. Another option is to start a short excursion from Binibeca or Binissafúller Rotters and get lost on the dirt paths of the “Camí de Cavalls”, ideal for taking some photos.
Arriving by car is easy, from Ciudadela you must take the main road towards Mahón, and take the detour towards the airport, passing through Sant Climent towards Binidalí, an old road lush with vegetation and old Menorcan “llocs”. The journey will take about 40 minutes, and 55 in high season. For those coming from Mahón, it is easier to get there in the direction of Sant Lluís, taking about 15 minutes by car.
The restaurant offering in this enclave is a little scarcer, but there are two in its surroundings par excellence where you can enjoy a typical Mediterranean meal. The first, the “Nàutic de Binisafua”, a restaurant on the seafront, which serves one of the best paellas on the South coast. In addition, they can serve you on your boat. Secondly, the “Txoko” where we will find excellent Mediterranean food, from tapas to rice and fish.
