Cala Covas is an amazing cove on the South coast of
Menorca. Because of strong southerlies we had not been able to go there
until yesterday.
On the way there - reading on
deck
It is a very narrow cove - only around 90m wide at
the entrance (which was difficult to see from the sea - we used GPS to get
there and could only see it when we were almost there). There are
reputed to be around 150 caves, some of which are prehistoric. We explored
a few of them and the children loved it.

Inside Cala Covas
We anchored with a line ashore to a convenient ring in the wall situated around one third of the
way across from the left hand side.
