Biniparratx Cove

A cove with a very diverse audience

Among all the beaches that we find under the prefix “bini” (Binisafúller, Biniancolla, Binibeca…), Biniparratx is the most secluded and, thanks to this, it is also the most unspoiled of all.

A paradise for nudists, sailors… and even for the deceased, as many have chosen this cove for their eternal rest.

This cove appears at the end of a narrow and deep sea inlet, with a beach of fine white sand, with an abundance of posidonia and an environment flanked by cliffs. The erosion of the rocky areas that surround it causes abundant boulders on its banks.

Although small, its width and depth allow the entry of small boats that are usually anchored at its entrance.

 

A cliff to die for

If we go to Biniparratx, we will see that it is surrounded by cliffs. If we look at the ones on the right, we will appreciate the presence of caves that were excavated at the end of the first century BC.

Originally, the bodies of important people of the time were buried in them. However, centuries later, these caves were desecrated and began to be put to different uses, ranging from being converted into dwellings to being used as a hideout for smuggling goods.

Cala de Biniparratx in Menorca, how to get there?

Its approach by land must be done following the signs to Binissafúller.

To do so, going by road from the Me-5, we must reach the crossroads where the talayotic settlement is located. Turning then to the left, we will have to follow the signs indicating where the beach is located.

Once there, we will continue along the road towards W, stop at Caló Blanc and, at the crossroads we will find on the way, turn right towards Sant Climent and Binidalí. We will pass by two esplanades, in the second one we see on our left we can park and continue on foot for about 300 meters to reach the beach.

What to do near Biniparratx

If we feel like practicing a little bit of hikingStage 17 of the Camí de Cavalls passes through Biniparratx and will allow us to discover beautiful places from its origin, in Cala en Porter, to its destination in Binisafúller (such as the ravine of Calescoves and Es Canutells or the fields near S’Argossam).

In this cove there are no services available, but the possibility of arriving practically to its sand by car will facilitate our displacement to other nearby points of the island that do have a greater leisure offer.

How to get to Cala de Biniparratx by boat?

To access the Cala de Biniparratx in our boat, we must leave the port of Mahón heading SE. We will sail along the coast, leaving Illa del Rei to port.

We will continue out to the open sea, leaving the Punta de Sant Carles lighthouse to starboard.

Following the coastline in a southerly direction we will pass the outcrops of Na Girada and Punta Rafalet. We will continue skirting the island, which will take us in a SW direction and leave Punta Prima and Punta dels Marbres to starboard. At this point we will have the Illa de l’Aire on our port side.

Following the coastline, we will head NW and ascend passing Cabo Binibeca and Cap d’en Font.

Past this, we will find two inlets: a boomerang-shaped one that enters the coast in a northeasterly direction and then another that ascends to the northwest.

It is in the first one, the one located in what is known as Morro de Llevant, where we will have to go to reach Cala de Biniparratx.
