Fondejador des Llanes beach in Menorca, how to get there
Its access is only possible by sea or through the Camí de Cavalls, but if we want we can make an approach by road.
To do so, leaving from Mahón, follow the signs to Ronda de Maó. We will join it and, when we reach the traffic circle, we will take the second exit towards Carrer de ses Quatre Bosques.
At the next traffic circle, we will take the second exit to continue along Ronda de Maó, which we will follow until we find the signs that indicate the exit to the Me-7. Once there, we must turn right twice to continue along Carretera de Favàritx / CF-1. Turn right again to join Camí de Tordonell, and then left to continue along Camí de sa Torre Blanca.
From here, we will turn right 3 times to reach our destination, as close as we can get to the Fondejador des Llanes.

How to get to Fondejador des Llanes by boat?
The most comfortable option, in this case, is to reach the cove by boat. In this sense, we will have to leave with our boat from the port of Mahón in SE direction leaving the dock to starboard. We will continue through the port until we reach the open sea (up to Punta de Sant Carles).
At this point, we will leave the San Carlos lighthouse to starboard, and continue to port along the coast (heading NE) where we will pass La Mola and Punta de S’Espero, to continue in a NW direction (always sailing with the coast to port).
We will pass Cap Negre, Punta de Sa Galera and, finally, Punta de sa Cudia. On the port side we will see an inlet that leads to Es Grau and in front we will have Illa d’en Colom. We will have to skirt it to the N, going around its northern coast until we get to the SW.
Having passed the northern tip of the islet and being positioned in this direction we will see the Fondejador from the bow.
