Top for families: Son Parc
This north coast beach offers safe, shallow waters and a multitude of activities, ideal for families seeking a fun day in the sunshine. The beach is also nearby Menorca’s only golf course, offering enthusiasts the chance to slip away for a quick round of golf if desired.
Top for activities: Cala Galdana
There is plenty for the active tourist here on Cala Galdana beach, which can be found on the south coast. Make sure to take in the stunning horseshoe cove and cliffs before you take part in one of the exciting activities this beach has on offer. These include boat trips, watersports, mini golf, cycling and the chance to take relaxing walks along the breathtaking coastline.
Top for nature: Cala Trebaluger
This picture perfect southern beach can be found at the mouth of a river, surrounded by pine forests. Accessible only by foot, the area is perfect for bird watching enthusiasts. Unfortunately there is no where to grab lunch so it’s a smart idea to bring along a packed picnic basket you can enjoy should hunger strike.

Enjoy the brillaint views from the comfort of a sun lounger or waterside restaurant, or those looking to liven things up can enjoy a range of water sports.
