Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Rafalet (Menorca) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Rafalet (Menorca) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Rafalet for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

An excellent spot for a swim and snorkel. It isn't the best for sunbathing, but the access to the water is easy enough. However, the path down can be a bit steep. The water is crystal clear, although on windy days, the cala can be full of rubbish and jellyfish.

If you're near Mahon, don't miss out on this amazing beach! It's definitely worth the short walk to get there, and best of all, entry is free to the public. Just an incredible experience - don't miss it!

My daughter and I had the pleasure of discovering Cala Rafalet while staying at Alua Sun Mediterranean (Las Palmeras). We got a bit lost along the way, but luckily we had Google Maps to guide us back. This secluded cove is a beautiful sight to behold, and my daughter spent her time exploring, snorkeling, and jumping off the rocks. I, on the other hand, found a rock to sit on and read. Although the beach is small, it is definitely worth the visit, even if you won't have it all to yourself. It's a hidden gem and the short walk is worth it.

This hidden cove is an absolute paradise for swimming and snorkeling, accessible only via a picturesque canyon with ancient Mediterranean forest. You'll need to climb over a stone wall, but don't worry - there are stairs if you look closely. It's also an ideal spot for rock climbing and searching for Mediterranean tortoises. The water is crystal clear and perfect for a dip, but beware - due to its sheltered nature, jellyfish may be lurking beneath the surface.

This hidden gem of a beach is the perfect spot for an intimate day trip. With no room for beach towels, it's the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful stroll through the trees and canyon. The sea is a stunning shade of turquoise and the snorkeling is truly amazing. Even though there were a few jellyfish when we visited, it was still an unforgettable experience.
