Cala Sant Llorenç está a ocho kilómetros de Alaior ('el Montpellier menorquín'), situada entre la punta homónima y sa Sarola. Esta playa resulta de la confluencia entre un entrante de mar y la desembocadura de Torrent de Torre Vella. También se caracteriza por tener unas dimensiones reducidas (30 metros de longitud y 20 de anchura), un talud de grava y arena de grano grueso, así como por estar encajonada entre acantilados altos, abruptos, agrestes y coronados de una vegetación escasa (matorrales). El tramo de litoral que une Cala Llucalari con Cala Sant Llorenç registra en su punto medio una altura de 80 metros. Esta considerable altitud costera se da en las siguientes 1,8 millas de distancia que le separan de Cala en Porter. Las condiciones marinas y subacuáticas desaconsejan el fondeo de embarcaciones, puesto que es imposible varar frente a este rincón costero. El acceso por carretera es sencillo hasta sus inmediaciones siguiendo la señalización viaria y los desvíos. Su llegada a pie es muy complicada, ya que se encuentra encastrada entre barrancos. Los pocos bañistas locales y turistas que se acercan hasta aquí suelen hacerlo por mar. La zona de sur de Menorca está quebrada por una cuarentena de barrancos, algunos de éstos surcados por escorrentías, formando un paisaje de contraste, así como rico en flora y fauna. Sus cimas son áridas al estar expuesta a la acción del sol, mientras que sus laderas son más sombrías y húmedas al estar resguardadas del astro.

Cala de sa Torreta is situated at 14 kilometres from Maó, located between es Colomar and Punta de ses Àguiles. It belongs to the Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès de s'Albufera es Grau (70 hectares in area, and an average depth of 1,5 metres, very rich landscape with many species of flora and fauna, so that the Unesco declared Menorca Reserve of the Biosphere in 1993. The name of this beautiful virgin beach with sand is given by the defence tower with the same name (also known with the name of Tamarells, because of the nearby beach), which rises on the headland of es Colomar, at a distance of 750 metres from Cala de sa Torreta. The marine and underwater conditions for anchoring boats are not safe, although this cove is sheltered by Cap de Mossèn Vives. Nevertheless this coastal corner belongs to the stretch between s'Illa ('island') de Colom and Cap de Favàritx or Punta de Capifort, two and a half nautical miles of high coast, irregular and stony, so that navigation in this area is difficult, due to the fact that it is full of flagstones, sandbanks and reefs. The small coves and sea inlets that you can find here and there between Punta de Fra Bernat (south) and Cap de Mossèn Vives, have natural obstacles that make the access to the sea difficult. These characteristics explain that the beach is not very crowded by local visitors and tourists. The few visitors that reach this cove come on the seaway, although it is difficult. You can also reach this coastal stretch on foot from Cala des Grau. Information about this beach may change.
