Where to eat nearby
- Cova Sa Nacra — Restaurant built into the rock with a terrace over the cove, known for paella and Menorcan shrimp; candle-lit after dark
- Santandria Beach Club — Cocktails and tapas by the sand
Restaurants, menus and opening hours change from season to season; many close in winter. Check before you go and book in summer.

- Ciutadella old town.

Wind & shelter
The catalogue records this beach as opening towards W. Wind coming from that direction can drive waves towards the shore; wind from the opposite direction may give more shelter near the sand. Headlands, terrain and offshore swell can change the result.
This west-facing cove can receive westerly wind and swell. Its enclosed shape may give local shelter, but does not guarantee calm water.
