A large resort by Menorcan standards and one of the oldest on the island, Cala en Porter is situated on the south coast, in a magnificent setting on the cliffs above a large deep beach. It is easily accessible by both car and bus, and offers all the expected facilities.
The resort itself is to be found on the cliff tops on the east side of a long inlet. The cliffs on the west side are undeveloped and rise steeply above the deep golden beach. The inlet is headed by a valley filled with marshland and fed by the stream Barranco de Cala en Porter, which in its turn feeds a large family of ducks!
The main access down to the beach is by the fairly steep and winding road, clearly signposted from the centre of the resort. There is, however, a very steep flight of steps going down the side of the cliff, which although a possibly more direct route, is only to be attempted by the energetic.
Cala en Porter has all the expected facilities, including a toy train that carries visitors up and down from the center of the village to the beach, and has the last fiesta of the year.
