White fishermen’s huts, a public path to the cove and a section of the Camí de Cavalls give Biniancolla a clear connection to the sea. When planning your visit, it helps to distinguish between the different coastal routes: the Camí Vell de Biniancolla runs from the current road to Alcaufar to Cala de Biniancolla; Stage 18 of the Camí de Cavalls follows Passeig de sa Marina in Biniancolla and then continues for more than 600 metres along the coastline. A leisurely bike ride reaches the seafront promenade, passes the cove and then follows the sea through the streets of the settlement.

Coastal Paths on Foot

The Camí Vell is a public path that provides public access to the coast. Its endpoints are clearly defined: the current road to Alcaufar and Cala de Biniancolla. This makes it a useful reference if you want to focus on the route to the cove. Stage 18 offers a different perspective: Passeig de sa Marina and the adjoining coastal stretch are its named features.

The stage reaches Biniancolla, where a lectern-style Caminos Naturales sign describes the route of the final section. It provides guidance for the end of the stage. Path conditions and signs can change, so check both before setting out.

Cycling Through Biniancolla

A leisurely bike ride along the coast of Sant Lluís leads to Biniancolla’s seafront promenade, passes the cove and then follows the sea through the streets of the settlement. The difference from Stage 18 lies in how the route is described: there, a coastal stretch of more than 600 metres is specified; here, the focus is on the sequence of the promenade, the cove and the streets by the sea. This helps you distinguish the bike ride through the settlement from the explicitly named walking stage.

Fishermen’s Huts and Coastal History

Biniancolla is one of the coastal coves of Sant Lluís known for their characteristic white fishermen’s huts. The settlement has a larger group of traditional Menorcan coastal huts, known as “casetes de vorera”. Along with the paths and routes, these huts give the coastal landscape an architectural dimension. For travellers interested in traditional Menorcan coastal architecture, the group offers a distinct point of interest.

The communal Caseta des Pescadors is located near Biniancolla; the shelter was built in 1889. In the past, Biniancolla offered shelter to professional fishermen and shellfish gatherers. Traditional architectural forms, a specific year of construction and the site’s former use are all part of its history.

Illa de l’Aire Marine Reserve

The Illa de l’Aire Marine Reserve includes a designated diving area that extends from S’Algar to Biniancolla. For travellers interested in diving, this marine dimension adds another perspective to the paths and traditional coastal architecture: alongside the routes along the shore, a geographically defined part of the marine reserve is another feature connecting Biniancolla with the coast.
