Exploring Menorca’s many beautiful beaches

It is said that there are more miles of beach to be found in Menorca than in all the rest of the Balearic islands put together. We’ve never seen the maths that proves it, but it is certainly believable because there are literally dozens of coves and calas waiting to be explored.

All the major resorts have grown up where they have for a good reason: they have a lovely beach, and they are enormously popular. Nowhere is this more true than at Son Bou, yet here the beach is so vast that if you walk just a few minutes along it you can be virtually alone…

Around the coast, following the famous Cami de Cavalls (literally, the path for horses) you can find Menorca’s virgin beaches – unspoilt, often uninhabited and always stunningly beautiful. Below you can find a brief guide to some of Menorca’s better-known sunning spots. If you’d like to read more about the lesser-known coves, visit BareMenorca.

North coast beaches

Fornells
The beach at Playa Fornells is Cala Tirant, and it’s a very popular spot for watersports, especially snorkelling, because the waters are shallow and clear
Son Parc
The beach at Son Parc (known as Son Saura) is very well placed for the resort amenities and sufficiently large that even in the height of summer it never seems all that busy
Arenal
The horseshoe-shaped cove of Arenal d’en Castell features on the front of the tour operators’ Menorca brochures for a reason – it is absolutely beautiful
Pregonda
It’s a 30-minute walk from the nearest parking spot, so you need to be dedicated to get to this beautiful sheltered bay with its spectacular rocks and clear waters

South coast beaches

Son Bou
The longest beach in Menorca, offering miles of golden sands and something for everyone. At the resort end there are beachside restaurants and sunbed hire, further west it is deserted, peaceful and popular with naturists
Santo Tomas/Binigaus
A beautiful resort beach with amenities close to hand and, ‘around the corner’ to the west, a stunning strip of sand with room for all and a free-and-easy approach to nudity
Cala en Porter
Buckets, spades, pedaloes, ice cream: you name it, you can get it here on this naturally dramatic and very beautiful beach
Punta Prima
Backed by a parade of shops and restaurants, you’re never far from sustenance on Punta Prima’s sandy shores. A lovely shallow bay ideal for swimming
Binibeca
Kids love Binibeca’s shallows, and so do grown-ups because the sands are beautiful, the view is glorious and there’s a great beach bar too…
Binisafua
Charmingly beautiful, tiny but never so busy it’s difficult to find a spot
Es Canutells
Really stunning cliff scenery surrounds the shallow and so-blue waters of Es Canutells. A choice of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance

Eastern beaches

Es Grau
The sweet little village of Es Grau boasts a glorious long curving bay with very shallow waters which are great for small children, and for bigger kids to snorkel in
Mesquida
A lovely unspoilt and quite large beach. No facilities (although you may be able to buy an ice cream from a van in high summer) but lovely views and great, safe swimming

Western beaches

Cala d’Algariens
Just on the outskirts of Cala Morell is this lovely unspoilt cove. You’d need to drive but, once there, it is a short walk to the sands from the car park. Ten minutes walk further on from this cove is the equally lovely Playa des Bot, a favourite spot for nudists
Cala Santandria
The closest beach to Ciutadella and very handy for the Sa Caleta and Son Blanc resorts, this is a beautiful and surprisingly large beach offering safe, shallow bathing and a host of amenities close by
Cala Blanca
A very sweet little cove with shallow bathing – ideal for kids – and restaurants, including one with a kids water slide, right beside the sands
Cala en Bosc
Very close to the lively marina, with its plethora of bars, shops and eateries, you’ll find the lively but very pleasant main resort beach. Busy in the summer months but nonetheless offering space for all
Cala Galdana
Galdana offers a lovely horseshoe-shaped cove surrounded by dramatic cliffs, and all within a gentle stroll of the resort itself. A 30-minute or so hike from the main resort is the stunningly beautiful Cala Mitjana
