Coast/beach

It is said there are 125 beaches on the island, many of these are only a short drive from Mahon.  We will be happy to supply you more details but some to look forward to visiting are Sa Mesquida, Es Grau, Son Parc on the North coast, and with Son Bou, Binibeca, Punta Prima and Sant Tomas on the South.  See details below.

Coastal path

Cami de Cavalls is the ancient coastal pathway completely circumnavigating the island of Menorca.  It was originally used as a highway to enable warning of impending invasion to the Menorcan people.  It has now been completely re-opened for the first time in over 400 year.

 

Sant Tomas.  A stunning white sandy beach on the south coast, my favourite on the island!! Park in the field on the right just prior to the roundabout, then if you wish have a drink at the bar Es Bruc there, followed then by a walk to the right.  Nice snorkelling by the island.  Es Bruc restaurant can be busy at lunch time.   On a clear day you can see Majorca from here.

Dropped Pin location - Beach
 

Es Grau, lovely sheltered bay approx 10 minutes drive from Mahon.  Nice and shallow for children to play in. 

Canoes, Kayaks and Pedalo`s can be hired here.

It is possible to take a water taxi to the Isle de Colom and arrange to be picked up later. 

Couple of local bars for coffees and snacks.

Spar mini market 2 minutes walk from the beach.

Close by is the nature reserve of Albufura through which runs a well marked trail.
 

Sa Mesquida is a beautiful horse shoe bay, approx 10 minutes drive from Mahon.  Parking can be busy, so get there early or late!  Often an Italian ice cream van parked at the beach, worth visiting!

On the way to Mesquida can be seen the impressive headland which is home to the well known Fish Restaurant 'Cap Roig'.
 

Son Parc.  A stunning white sandy beach.  A local bar on the 'left' of the beach (where picture taken from) next to the car park serves coffee and food, worth a visit - Es Bruc Nord

Dropped Pin location - Beach

This is a quiet beach approx 30 minutes along the cliff tops at Son Parc.  From above picture location walk towards the shore and then on left see a gap in the wall, follow the path!  Take food and drink.

Dropped Pin location - Beach

Yacht charter and power boat rental can be arranged at a number of locations including at Menorca Cruising

Small power boats can be hired at Fornells, along with wind surfing and sailing schools/hire.

Punta Prima has nice white sands, a large car park and plenty of bars/restaurants.   There are good walks along the rocks with the island/lighthouse in the background.

Dropped Pin location - Beach

This is not a beach, but a lovely bay with concrete steps to get in/out of the water.  Essential to be a good swimmer, and will not be disappointed with the fish to see when snorkelling.  Especially nice late afternoon when the sun is setting, with a local bar nearby.

Dropped Pin location - Cove

   
Diving and banana boating etc can be carried out at S'Algar dive center
   
The Aqua Rock waterpark is the main waterpark on the island of Menorca. Situated at the back of the resort of Cala'n Bosch.  There are smaller water parks at Son Bou and Cala'n Forcat.
