Son Xoriguer

Description

Platja de Son Xoriguer is situated at 12 kilometres from Ciutadella, located between Punta de sa Guarda and Titina, as well as next to the village with the same name and next to the residential village of Cala en Bosc. These two urban areas contribute to the fact that Ciutadella is the menorcan municipality with the most important touristy activity, because it has more that half of the hotel places of the island. This sea inlet is characterized by the shape of a shell, it is not very big, the beach is sandy on the left side, the rest is covered by rocks. It is exposed to the winds from the south-southwest-west and a gentle breeze. The water is quiet, the slope is gentle, there are some emerging reefs next to the beach. It has a sandy ground with seaweed, and it is very crowded by local visitors and tourists, and lots of families.
