On the southern coast of Menorca lies Cala'n Porter, one of the island's most established and popular resorts.  Cala'n Porter is one of Menorca's livelier towns and is a favourite with British holidaymakers.

The town offers many good bars and restaurants, together with a variety of shops and supermarkets.  Although the entertainment is mainly hotel based, a number of bars in Cala'n Porter feature regular evening shows, karaoke and discos, one of the most famous and exciting being at the stunning Cova d'en Xoroi - a nightclub inside a series of natural caves carved into the cliff face, which provides revellers with a magnificent backdrop to dance away until the small hours.

Many hotels have excellent, child-friendly facilities while there are other attractions in the town centre to keep the little ones happy.  The beach in Cala'n Porter is a fairly large, horseshoe shape of golden sand enclosed by a rocky headland making it one of the more sheltered beaches in Menorca.  There are a few shops and bars nearby with a large car park a few yards away.  The rocks around the headland make a  perfect platform for swimming and snorkelling.  The beach can be accessed by road or a steep flight of steps from the town centre - be warned though, there are nearly 200 steps to negotiate which can be daunting if you have young children!  A road train travels to the beach from Cala'n Porter centre, but can work out quite expensive for a large family.

A nearby attraction to Cala'n Porter is Cala Coves - ancient burial caves carved into the cliff face over 2,000 years ago.  Access is by way of a (very) winding and (very) rough road, but once there the views are magnificent.

Although there is a regular bus service to Mahon, a car is recommended for those wishing to capture the best the area has to offer.
