Cala del Pilar (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Cala Morell settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Menorca, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"This location is a magical place, boasting beautiful scenery, crystal-clear water and an amazing sense of calm that is only enhanced by the sound of the sea. Goats can be seen grazing on the hill, and the journey to the beach takes around 30-45 minutes, making for a wonderful walk. In March, we had the beach all to ourselves – and the sand is a beautiful, warm brown."

Irina Liskova

"A 45-minute trek is a small price to pay for the incredible sights and the beautiful beach at the end. We recommend arriving early to make the most of the experience - we encountered some goats and it was truly magical!"
