Cala Trebaluger in Menorca

One of the most rewarding walks is the one that will take you to Cala Trebalúger, where the green, turquoise blue and the white of the fine sand merge into one.

Itis not the most accessible cove in the south, but it is one of the most beautiful, so take note of how to make the most of your visit to Trebalúger to make the walk worthwhile. If you don't feel like walking, you can always join a boat trip to the cove. I tell you all about it here.

The best option to visit Cala Trebalúger is to hire a boat trip to visit the most magical coves in the south of Menorca.

This way, not only will you be able to comfortably enjoy the views during the trip, but also the boat will get as close as possible to the coast so that you can take the best souvenir photos of such iconic beaches as Cala Trebalúger itself, but also Cala Mitjana, Macarella, or Turqueta, among others.

Of course, you can take one or more dips in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean or, if you prefer, go snorkelling to discover the underwater life of southern Menorca. A real luxury within your reach.

I have already told you that it is not the most accessible cove on the south coast. You can only get there on foot or by boat, but I assure you that it is well worth the walk.

By car

It is clear that the car is the most practical way to get around Menorca on your holiday. It allows you flexibility and freedom of timetables, but you will have to bear in mind that the beaches are not always accessible by private vehicle. And this is the case of Trebalúger, which has no car park or footpath leading to it, so you have to park a few kilometres away, specifically in Cala Galdana, a 40-minute walk away.

Walking

You will have no choice but to walk to Cala Trebalúger, wherever you come from. From Cala Galdana, for example, you can first reach Cala Mitjana in about 20 minutes on foot and then it will take you another 20 minutes to Trebalúger. That's 40 minutes in total. From Cala Fustam, for example, it will take you about 25 minutes on foot.

By bus

The bus is always a good option because in high season it has a very good frequency. The main coves are well connected to the main towns and will save you the time of parking. You can get from your accommodation to Cala Galdana and from there walk along a nice path to Trebalúger. Check the Menorca bus website to find out which bus line and timetable is most convenient for you.

The best thing to do in Trebalúger is, without a doubt, to enjoy its crystal clear waters, the sun and the spectacular natural environment that surrounds it. You can take shelter from the heat under the shade of the pine forest that almost reaches the sea and you can also take its paths to reach other nearby coves. Cala Mitjana, for example, is only 20 minutes away and is well worth a visit.

Another option I recommend is that, if you have snorkelling goggles and snorkel, you should explore this coastline and the limestone walls that surround it. You will find interesting underwater life that will keep you entertained for a while.

If you book an excursion to Cala Trebalúger by boat you won't even have to worry about snorkelling equipment, because it is provided on the boat itself.

As in practically all the coves on the island, you should arrive early in the morning to make sure you get a good spot, especially if you want to avoid having problems parking and not having to do the 40-minute walk under the intense midday sun.

In addition, arriving early in the morning will allow you to make the most of the day at the beach and you will have time to discover some of the other nearby coves. If you want to get there by boat, you can save yourself the early start and do the excursion in the afternoon or embark on the full-day option at 10 a.m. in Ciudadela.

None. Trebalúger is an unspoilt beach with no car park, bars, hotels or restaurants. It is best to take everything you will need during the day with you: water, soft drinks, food, hat, sunscreen... Be well prepared so you don't have to interrupt your beach day with a walk to the nearest shop, 40 minutes away!

Very easy: whatever you want or can fit in your rucksack. You won't find any restaurant or beach bar where you can buy food, nor will you find street vendors. It's important to bear this in mind to make sure you get there with provisions in your backpack or in a cooler to make the most of your day at the beach.
