Pont d'en Gil cavern
A cavern in the cliffs by the Pont d'en Gil natural arch on Menorca's west coast, reached by boat from Ciutadella/Cala'n Bosch. Dive centres describe it as about 220 m long with stalactites and stalagmites (submerged) and an air dome to surface in, ending at a small beach; the entrance is only about 12 m down. It is outside the northern marine reserve where cave diving is banned. The marker is placed about 100 m off the arch, a position estimate only.
