S'algar lies on a headland on Menorca’s south coast. The rocky shoreline, a swimming area and the palm-lined waterfront promenade give visitors a range of ways to enjoy their stay. There are also water sports, diving courses and trips along the coast. A simple way to plan is to decide whether you mainly want to spend time by the water or also include activities out at sea. The options differ mainly in whether swimming, diving or a boat trip is the focus.

Swimming between the rocky coast and promenade

Along S'algar’s rocky coast, concrete platforms with sun loungers provide places to sunbathe and swim in the clear water. The swimming area is 80 metres long and 22 metres wide. A palm-lined waterfront promenade runs right alongside it. This puts a dedicated swimming spot and a waterside area for a stroll side by side. If swimming is the main reason for your stay, you can make this stretch of coast your focus; the promenade adds to your time by the water without the need to plan another excursion.

Diving courses and a coastal cave

S'Algar Diving is a place to start for anyone interested in diving: the centre is located in the middle of the Illa de l'Aire marine reserve. Its offerings include introductory dives and PADI courses from Scuba Diver to Divemaster, as well as TDI courses for experienced divers. This gives you the choice between a first introduction to diving and courses for experienced divers. There is also an upper cave on S'algar’s rocky coast, with a wide shaft leading to the surface. Access depends on sea conditions and suitable diving arrangements.

Boat trips and other water sports

If you want to explore the coast from the water, you can choose between different types of trip. S'Algar Diving offers two-hour boat trips for snorkelling and exploring marine flora and fauna. Snorkelling involves using a mask, snorkel and fins. There are also boat trips to coastal coves and stretches of shoreline, some of which are accessible only from the sea. The two-hour trip focuses on snorkelling and exploring the underwater world; the other trips take you to coastal destinations. A wide range of water sports is also available along the coast. Course and excursion offerings may change, so check what is available for your travel dates in advance.

Plan your excursion and route

The nearby Cala Rafalet is another option for an excursion from S'algar. Trail conditions can vary, so checking the latest situation before setting out can help with planning. The route into the S'algar development goes via Sant Lluís and the La Pau roundabout. From there, signs point towards the beaches in the south. Sant Lluís and La Pau are therefore the landmarks for the route described, while Cala Rafalet offers another excursion option.
