About Cala Tortuga
Cala Tortuga is a quiet Menorca cove in the s'Albufera des Grau natural park, with shallow calm water, sandy access, and rocky sides that make it better for an easy beach day or relaxed snorkeling and shallow scuba than for anything technical. Plan for a walk, bike ride, or summer bus, and bring everything you need because the beach has no services.
