Beaches in Menorca

Menorca’s 216km long coastline with over 100 beaches is truly beautiful. With so many family friendly beaches with fine white sands, secluded coves surrounded by pines wooded trees, dramatic rugged volcanic rock and sparkling clear green blue waters; you’ll find your perfect holiday attraction.

The beaches in the North of Menorca are quieter than the south with fewer resorts but are equally as stunning with a more reddish sand. They are subject to stronger northern winds called the Tramuntana but do make a perfect destination for lovers of sailing, windsurfing and other activities.
