Calan Porter has a wide selection of bars and restaurants to choose from. The Caves of Xoroi also transform into a lively disco at night where you can relax, enjoy a drink and watch the sun set over the sea.

Beaches

The beautiful sandy bay is protected on both sides by steep cliffs and the beach shelves gently into the sea. There's a small promenade by the sand with a souvenir shop and a couple of local bars. The beach can be accessed on foot by a large flight of steps, or down a long, steep road leading to the car park at the rear of the beach. For anyone not wanting to hire a car, taxis are available.

Family fun

A couple of the resort restaurants offer weekly entertainment in the form of tribute bands. There are several play areas for children, some attached to the local restaurants.

Places of interest

One thing Calan Porter is known for are the Caves of Xoroi, a natural cave hollowed out of the cliff face at the entrance to the bay, accessed by a series of steps winding down the cliff. During the day refreshments can be bought at the entrance to the caves and the views from the seating area are simply stunning. By night the caves transform into a popular disco and bar. Further afield, for anyone who does hire a car, visit the islands' highest point Monte Toro. There is a gift shop and café at the top where you can enjoy a bite to eat admiring the spectacular panoramic views over the whole island!

Golf

The islands' only golf course is located in Son Parc, on the North coast, around 30 minutes' drive from Calan Porter.

Other activities

Menorca has lots of different activities going on. The recently renovated bridle path along the coast is a delight for those who enjoy fresh sea air and don't mind walking. For anyone wanting something more active, many of the resorts offer water sports and other sporting facilities, or for a more authentic taste of Menorca, some of the local resorts put on horse shows - well worth a visit!
