Cala Mesquida: history, nature, and tranquility just minutes from Mahón.

Located on the north coast of Menorca, just 7 km from Mahón, Cala Mesquida is one of those beaches that combines natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and a touch of history that makes it unique. With its fine, golden sand and protected environment, it’s ideal for those looking to relax away from the more crowded beaches. 

A beach with history

Cala Mesquida isn’t just a natural paradise: its bay was the scene of historic landings, including that of British troops in the 18th century during the English occupation. Today, instead of warships, you’ll find a peaceful setting, overlooking the islet of Es Pa Gros, a small islet located off the beach that is home to seabirds.
