User reviews
"This place is not so great. If you're brave enough, you can take a dip in the designated area. The water is cloudy and murky and you'll likely see a few fish. After that, you can grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants. But don't expect much. Just walking around and soaking up the sun isn't worth the time either."
Elizabeth Lutrell
"We had a delightful dinner at Sa Nasa, and the goat cheese salad was simply delicious. We were a bit disappointed with Fornells, as it has become over-crowded and lost some of its tranquil appeal. There were no serene spots to take a break or have a picnic. However, the church was a pleasant and peaceful spot to visit."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Cala Fornells (Menorca) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Fornells (Menorca) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Fornells for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
