7 beaches in Menorca you can’t miss on your next holiday

Menorca is best understood when explored beach by beach. The island combines white-sand coves and crystal-clear waters in the south with wilder, reddish and more natural landscapes in the north. So, if you are planning your holidays, these 7 beaches in Menorca should definitely be on your route.

1. Son Bou
   The island’s widest beach is perfect if you are coming with your family. Its size makes it easy to find space, walk along the shoreline and enjoy a comfortable day by the sea. Ideal for those looking for openness, sand and a hassle-free beach day.
2. Cala Galdana
   One of the most complete options for families. Shaped like a bay, with calm waters and nearby services, it is a practical and very pleasant beach. It is also a good starting point for discovering some of the nearby coves in the south.
3. Cala Turqueta
   If you are enjoying a romantic getaway as a couple in Menorca, Cala Turqueta is an essential stop. Surrounded by pine trees and turquoise waters, it invites you to arrive early, disconnect and enjoy one of the island’s most iconic landscapes.
4. Macarella and Macarelleta
   Two coves that capture Menorca’s most desired postcard image: pale sand, gentle cliffs and transparent sea. They are perfect for couples looking for a special experience and for families with older children who are used to walking.
5. Cala Mitjana
   Natural, bright and very photogenic. Cala Mitjana is one of those coves that conveys calm from the very first moment. If you are travelling as a couple, it is ideal for a quiet morning; if you are coming with your family, it is worth planning your timings and access carefully.
6. Cala Pregonda
   In the north, Cala Pregonda offers a different side of Menorca: golden sand, reddish rocks and a wilder landscape. It is perfect for adventurous couples or families with older children who want to enjoy a more natural, less urban experience.
7. Es Grau
   A very special beach for families thanks to its shallow waters and peaceful atmosphere. Its natural surroundings also allow you to combine swimming, walking and a slower way of discovering authentic Menorca.

To make the most of each beach, check the wind, access routes, available services and seasonal bus options in advance, as some beaches can only be reached by bus.

And above all, choose an apartment or house with Som Menorca which, thanks to its locations on the central/northern coast of the island, will allow you to easily reach all beaches and coves in no time.

PS: 7 beaches in Menorca that you can’t miss seems far too few to me… All of Menorca’s beaches are exceptional, magnificent and truly captivating.

Enjoy them and take care of them!
