216 Kilometeres of coastline

Menorca’s beaches are characterised by their clear, crystalline water gently selved beaches and the beautiful aqua marine ocean colour. Although small coves are the most abundant, Menorca also has some long beaches, such as that of Son Bou on the south coast, which at four kilometers in length, is the longest stretch of sand on the island. The south coast of Cuitadella has some of the most spectacular virgin beaches in Menorca, such as Son Saura, Cala en Turqueta, or Macarella and Macarelleta, whilst in the north of the region the area around La Vall and Al gaiarens beaches is outstanding, a place of great environmental value. On the north coast are more beaches that should be higlighted such as Cala Pilar, Pregonda and Cavalleria where the sand is very red in colour. People visiting the virgin beaches are advised to take food and water as these coves offer little in amenities.
