Playa des Talaier is a small sandy cove on Menorca’s southwestern coast, between Cala Turqueta and Son Saura. Its clear turquoise water is shallow enough to wade into, and the pine-fringed setting rewards the walk through shrubby woodland. Come to swim, relax on the white sand or take underwater photos. Nudism is allowed. There are no beach facilities, so bring water, snacks and what you need for the day.
A small cove on Menorca’s southwest coast
Playa des Talaier lies between Cala Turqueta and Son Saura, in a narrow cove on Menorca’s southwestern coast. White sand meets clear turquoise water, with pine trees around the shore. Its remote setting is part of the appeal, but reaching the beach takes a walk through shrubby woodland.
The water is shallow close to shore, so you can wade out before needing to swim. The clarity also makes the cove a good spot for underwater photography. Some visitors use rocks by the water for jumping into the sea.
What to bring and when to go
There are no facilities on the beach, so pack enough water and food for your visit. Suitable footwear helps on the walk, and sunscreen is useful for time on the sand. Nudism is allowed at the cove.
Parking is limited, and the beach tends to get crowded in summer. An early arrival can help you find a space and enjoy a quieter swim. The off-season is another option if you would rather avoid the summer crowds.
