Pudent beach in Menorca, one of the best calas

Visit Cala Pudent

Cala Pudent is a small beach located in the North, 15 kilometres away from Es Mercadal. To arrive by car, you can easily park in the village and do a short 15 minutes walk along a path to the beach. But, first, you will need to cross Son Parc Beach.

Its space is limited, so it cannot fill many people in there. Thus, it's not very famous, and people don't go there unless July and August.

So if you want to visit Cala Pudent and experience the white and fine sand, we recommend seeing it in June or September.

A very nice beach

Surroundings of the Cala are virgin, without constructions, in very reasonably flat terrain, with some trees that can give you some shade during summer days. Its orography is typical of the North of Menorca, with small cliffs from where you can jump in the water.

It has other calas very near!

You will need to pass through Macar de Cala Pudent before arriving at the beach. This area doesn't have sand; it has small grey stones, which are very flat. It's not the most comfortable place, but a recommended one if the main beach of Cala Pudent is full of people. We can enjoy a very lonely beach in Menorca.

Diving in Cala Pudent

A general opinion about Cala Pudent is that it's a fabulous beach for diving and doing snorkelling. It has enormous marine sand areas with grasslands of Oceanic Posidonia, which made that spot perfect for seeing fish and water life. Don't miss diving goggles.

Visit it with a boat

An experience to remember is to visit this spectacular spot by boat. You can rent a boat without a license in the Port of Fornells. By doing that, you can explore all its surroundings comfortably. It is an excellent option if you go with children or your family; the shade you will have in summer is a luxury.

Cala Pudent is suitable for boating since it is sheltered from most winds. Its narrow bay offers excellent protection, ensuring even on windy days the sea is calm. It is also quite a good place to go for an overnight mooring, basking in solitude and peacefulness without worries. But, please make sure that you do not anchor over the posidonia meadows, as they are significant for the marine ecosystem and have protection measures in place.

Lunch on the beach

As it doesn't have any bar or lifeguard, if you want to stay for a day in this magical place of Menorca, you would need to bring your food. However, you can also visit Son Parc, which is not far away, and it has a lot of bars and restaurants.

Arenal de s'Olla.

If you follow the path to Cala Pudent, you will be in a lovely area known as Arenal de s'Olla. However, you must not confuse this beach with the one near Macarella and Turqueta, in Ciutadella. Unlike the latter, Arenal de s'Olla is a small cove with no sand, as it’s a pebble beach (Macar). The area also has shallow waters, so if you're coming by boat, be cautious of the many dangerous rocks scattered around.

Pudent with dogs

At Pudent, you will witness how frequently people without any issues engage in the sea with their dogs. The tranquil environment and the absence of throngs provide sufficient room for the pets to move and enjoy themselves freely. You should stay alert to them, as over-excitement might lead to situations where they can not be controlled well.

The primary factor that keeps this place deserted even during the summer is the presence of seaweed on the sand. This discourages many tourists from coming, hence in the end, dogs along with their proprietors can relish their own tranquil little corner.
