Description

Cala En Porter is located in the Alaior area, along the southeast coast of Menorca.

The cove is approximately 300 meters deep, lies close to the town of Cala en Porter, and is a fjord surrounded by high rocky cliffs, with a stream flowing into it.
As you enter the bottom of the cove, looking to the right, you can see a small cluster of white houses and buildings with red roofs, set in the relief in front.
Instead, Mediterranean vegetation towers on the left cliff.
The cove is clearly visible even when one is sailing on the open sea, thanks to the presence of the Torre Nova, located one mile northwest of the entrance gate.

The seabed consists of sand and seaweed and is good tenors.

The best place for boaters to anchor is in the central part of the bay, about 150 meters from the beach, where the depth of the seabed is between 3 and 5 meters.

Because of the lack of protection from southerly winds and the shallow waters, it is not recommended to anchor in this bay at night and on very windy days.

At the bottom of the bay is the beach, with fine, light-colored sand, a fair width and a gathered shape.
Beach equipment, such as beach chairs and umbrellas, can be rented in this area. In addition, those on the beach can use toilets, showers and a first aid station.

In the summer season, the area is provided with a surveillance service with lifeguards.
Around the beach you can find some hotels, clubs, restaurants and businesses.
Access to the beach can also be easily done by land, starting from the center of the resort of Cala en Porter, or you can get there by car or public transport.

Alaior and its surroundings are famous for the Calescoves necropolis, prehistoric villages, and the early Christian basilica of Son Bou.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
