Just over ten kilometres from Mahon airport on the southern coast Cal'n Porter (pronounced 'cal-en-port-air') is the oldest seaside resort in Menorca yet still retains a pleasant village atmosphere.

In a truly spectacular setting on top of tall limestone cliffs indented with coves, Cal'n Porter has something to satisfy most tastes but is especially popular with families and couples.

The beautiful beach is wide and deep with pale gold sand and is protected on three sides by high cliffs. It is reached by steps from the town or there is a less direct route by road which winds down to a car parking area. The beach offers safe bathing and being large rarely seems overcrowded.

Down by the beach there are a handful of shops, bars and restaurants and two beach bars operate in summer hiring out sunbeds, beach umbrellas and pedaloes. More shops and a good choice of restaurants and bars can be found in the resort centre with an even greater choice in nearby Mahon. A bus service to Mahon operates seven times a day.

The area is well known for it's caves and prehistoric stone structures which can make interesting visitor attractions. High in the cliffs of Cal'n Porter directly facing the open sea, is the large natural cave known as the Cova d'en Xoroi, which functions as a bar during the daytime and in the evenings as an unusual and popular disco.
