Na Macaret beach is located on a small, sheltered sea inlet with a sandy shore and calm water. As the town beach of the settlement of the same name, it lies between Cala Molí and Punta des Nous Corns. The clear water and impressive seabed make the beach well suited to diving.

Coast

Across from the coast at Na Macaret beach, the 8-metre-high defensive tower Torre d'Addaia rises on Punta de sa Torre, with an artillery platform at the top. A kayak route also starts directly at the beach. There is a small ramp there for entering the sea, which is identified as the specific starting point for this route.

Nature

Port d'Addaia is a natural inlet with calm, shallow water. The entrance to Port d'Addaia is protected by the Addaia Islands. The salt marshes of Addaia and Mongofre form a different type of landscape: They are among Menorca's larger wetland areas and add a water-rich natural environment to the coastal scenery. Especially during the winter months, the salt marshes provide an opportunity to observe numerous waterfowl. Na Macaret also has a quay for mooring small boats.

Culture

Some of the original fishermen's houses still stand beside Na Macaret's sandy beach. The defensive tower Torre d'Addaia is also listed under the names Torre de Macaret and Torre de Cala Molí. Literary references are present at the beach as well: There, you can read the poem “Na Macaret” by Ponç Pons and the beginning of the seventh canto of “Nura”.

Routes

The Na Macaret hiking route can be reached on the Favàritx–Arenal d'en Castell section of the Camí de Cavalls. For road planning in the municipality of Es Mercadal, a project provides for the construction of a roundabout on the ME-9 road near the access roads to Coves Noves, Arenal d'en Castell, Na Macaret and Addaia.
