Puerto de Cala Ratjada. Spain Marinas.
This harbour is the nearest jump-off point
for Menorca, being only 21 miles away. Visitors can usually
tie up along the outer quay, but if going stern-to, they should
be careful of fouling their anchors - a trip line is a good
idea here. Although there can be a surge in this harbour,
particularly with E or SE winds, the marina and quays are
always popular in the summer so you should have contingency
plans in mind in case no space is available. The Club berths
are only for craft up to about 12 metres, but space can be
found along the public quay for larger yachts of up to 20
metres. Within the harbour itself there is an active fishing
fleet. The town is only a short walk away and is a popular
tourist spot, particularly with Germans, so all provisions
can be found with ease. There is also a very long sandy beach
nearby. |
