Es Grau beach is located on the north coast of Menorca, next to a beautiful village of picturesque white houses.<\/p>\n
Right next to it we find the Natural Park of S’Albufera des Grau<\/strong>. It is the most important natural park on the island, whose more than five thousand hectares of land are home to hundreds of animal and plant species, which led UNESCO to declare it a Biosphere Reserve in 1993.<\/p>\n Es Grau is a northwest facing bay characterized by its semicircular shape, its large dimensions (almost 600 meters long and about 35 meters wide), its shallow sandy bottom and its beaches of fine sand and grayish tone. Located between the points of Sa Cudia and Fra Bernat and having in front of it the Illa d’en Colom<\/strong>, the beach is very protected and sheltered from winds even on Tramontana days (thanks, in particular, to the Illa d’en Colom whose 44 meters above sea level are a natural barrier against them).<\/p>\n Its calm character, the safety offered by its crystalline waters and the ample space available for bathers make it an ideal place for families with children and for those who wish to spend the night at anchor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This protected natural area includes a wide variety of different environments: wetlands, agricultural and livestock lands, forests, a coastline with cliffs and beaches, islets and marine areas. It highlights its diversity of plant and animal species, among which birds of prey and waterfowl predominate.<\/p>\n The Natural Park was declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1993, after years of social mobilizations demanding its protection. In 2003, the boundaries were expanded to cover a total of more than 5,000 hectares of land, including both marine and terrestrial areas.<\/p>\n The natural dunes of the beach d’es Grau, serve as a defense for the Albufera that is located behind the beach and flows into it through the small stream of the Gola.<\/p>\n A treasure of Menorcan nature that is worth stopping to appreciate.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” max_width=”none” custom_padding=”0px||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/calasenmenorca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/sight-seeing-52.png” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-9vw||-1px||false|” custom_margin_tablet=”0vw|||” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”CTA” _builder_version=”4.16″ z_index=”10″ custom_padding=”130px||3px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1600px” custom_margin=”-100px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]The Natural Park of S’Albufera des Grau<\/h2>\n
