Description

Cala Fontanelles is a small U-shaped bay located along the northwest coast of the island of Menorca.

In its northwestern part it is enclosed by the promontory of Punta Blanca, while in its southern part it is bordered by Punta Denmig. The islet Escul de Ses Vinyoles, on the other hand, is located just in front of the cove, making it easily recognizable for those coming from the sea in their own boats.
The cove is part-along with other inlets-of a larger bay, which extends from the Punta de Fra Bernat and Punta Rotja.
The seabed of the cove has little slope and is composed mainly of pebbles and sand, The seabed is good tenors, not very deep and allows for safe anchoring.

The winds that blow over the area are north, northeast and northwest, but the natural conformation of the bay offers good general protection from currents and calm waters. These characteristics make the cove a popular destination not only for boaters, but also for scuba diving and snorkeling enthusiasts.

The other bays in the immediate vicinity are Cala S’Escala (closest for those coming from the west) and Cala d’Algariens, the easternmost bay.

At the bottom of the bay lies a beach composed of sand and pebbles, flanked by a space for the storage of small fishing boats.
The beach (like the entire bay) is surrounded by low rock walls and vegetation. Cala Fontanelles is located in a very sparsely urbanized area, and its beach does not offer any kind of service. You can get to the bay by starting from Cala d’Algariens and walking along the coastal path.
Its being “wild” and the lack of services make it a destination that is not very crowded, even during high season.

Cala Fontanelles is located about 11 kilometers from Ciutadella and is part of an area of special natural interest, protected by the Balearic Islands government and the European Union.

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.
