How to get to Cala Pregonda beach

Discover the impressive beauty of Pregonda Beach in Menorca.

 

Pregonda Beach, located on the north coast of Menorca, is a true paradise for nature lovers and seekers of idyllic beaches. With its crystal-clear waters, golden sand, and stunning landscape, Pregonda offers an unforgettable beach experience.

Pregonda is known for its untouched natural beauty and unique landscape. Situated on the north coast of Menorca, this beach is characterized by its gentle reddish hills, imposing cliffs, and turquoise waters. Unlike many other beaches, Pregonda does not have umbrellas or sunbeds, contributing to its wild and unspoiled atmosphere.

Once you arrive at Pregonda Beach, you will be amazed by its beauty. The golden sand contrasts with the turquoise beach waters, creating a dreamy landscape. We recommend bringing everything you need, such as food, water, and sunscreen, as there are no services near the beach.

Recommended activities in Cala Pregonda:

 

Swim to its islet: From Camí de Cavalls, you’ll notice that Cala Pregonda has a different appearance compared to other beaches on the island. Its numerous rocks and shoals are ideal for exploring. One of the highlights is the islet of Pregonda, which protects the beach from northern storms. If you look closely, you’ll see a rock resembling a praying woman, which gave rise to the name of the cove in Catalan (“Pregar”). You can easily swim to it in about two minutes, but remember to respect the buoys that mark the swimming area and approach from the left side.

Natural pools: The crystal-clear water of the island is perfect for swimming, and you can also find natural pools to snorkel with curious fish and jump from small cliffs.

Cala Pregonda is a natural gem in Menorca that you must not miss. Its contrasting landscape, marine protection, and serene environment make it a magical place. Enjoy the wonders this unique beach offers and take the opportunity to explore its surroundings.

Some of the reasons why we recommend visiting Cala Pregonda are:

 

A landscape of great contrast.

Cala Pregonda stands out for its surprising contrast. Its rugged relief allows for a diversity of unique environments and natural landscapes. It is the only place in Menorca with volcanic rock formations, which gives it a desolate landscape and a wonder for photography.

Protected area.

The entire coast of Cala Pregonda is part of the northern marine reserve of Menorca, a maritime area with great biodiversity aimed at conserving numerous marine species. It is the ideal place for diving and exploring the underwater beauty with snorkeling goggles.

Peacefulness and solitude, but with caution.

If you want to enjoy the tranquility of Cala Pregonda, we recommend visiting it in May, June, or September. Although it is a remote place, it can become crowded during the summer months, so during this season, we recommend visiting it early in the morning.

Close to other stunning beaches.

The coast of Cala Pregonda is like an oasis with its unique landscape and is just a step away from incredible beaches such as Cavallería and the beautiful Ets Al.locs. Hiking enthusiasts can enjoy the Camí de Cavalls route, which runs along this pristine coastline and offers a close-to-nature experience.

Harmonized cottages with the landscape.

Although Cala Pregonda is considered a virgin beach, it has three small cottages built near the shore. These cottages, built in the 1970s, blend harmoniously with the environment and do not spoil the beauty of the area.

Reddish sand and a particular environment.

With its reddish sand and serene environment on the north coast of Menorca, Cala Pregonda has become a must-visit place on the island. Visitors can enjoy this peaceful beach at any time of the year, although it is best to avoid the peak tourist season.

Why Rent a Car to Visit Cala Pregonda and Many Other Places in Menorca.

 

Having a rental car gives you total freedom to plan your visit to Cala Pregonda at your own pace. You can decide when to depart and when to return. Although public transportation has a network of buses that connect the towns and resorts of Menorca, they do not cover the routes to many other virgin beaches, coves, and other places of interest. That’s why renting a car in Menorca is highly recommended if you want to make the most of your time and reach any point on the island.
