The pristine waters of Menorca are a real holiday memory. They are amazingly clear so even with just a simple snorkel you will see lots, not murky haze. And because the water is in such good condition you'll see lots of fish too. Many, many of the resort beaches have shallow sandy bottoms fringed with rocks, ideal for young snorkellers. Organised trips can make a great family day out with as a Snorkel Safari or stop off as part of a Boat excusrions. There are also marine reserves around Menorca where the marine life is even more abundent.
The inlets are good for snorkelling as the water is calmed by the inlet and of course rocks are where the fish are! Equipment Hire and excursions can be found behind beach at Son Xoriguer or dive centre. Fun underwater aqua scooters are also available to hire
Cala'n Forcat Diving
With few currents, warm crystal clear waters, many underwater caves and coral-clad rock formations, Menorca is recognised as one of the most enjoyable dive sites in the western Mediterranean.
Local dive centre 7 fathoms scuba www.7fathoms-scuba.com offers cave ( e.g. Pont Den Gil ) and wreck diving for advanced divers.

Cala'n Forcat Cycle Route Ideas
Like most of Menorca this is more Natural, so don't expect too many cycle lanes. Better to use the off road tracks and marked routes as the little roads that make up much of the country network have lots of blind corners.
Cycles can be hire around the area eg ( Tot Velo ) - cycle lanes to Ciutadella and north to the Lighthouse.

Cala en Forcat Near By ( Bus Route 61 )
Spend a day in Ciutadella
A taste of former elegant times with fine old spanish palaces, moorish influences, a wonderful old centre and a charming little harbour. Great atmosphere and clothes and shoes shopping and a place to wander Ciutadella's pedestrianised old town and its many narrow streets with hidden shops and Cafe treats. The scene for the spectacular Sant Joan fiesta in June, when stunning native black horses parade through the city streets and the brave try to "touch the horse's heart" as it rears in front of them.
