Beaches in Menorca

The coastline of Menorca is a natural attraction par excellence. The beaches on the southern coast feature very fine, whitish sand and are surrounded by abundant pine forests, contrasting with the northern coast's more reddish sand, with some exceptions, and rockier shores.

The urbanized beaches have easy access, while others are more difficult to reach due to their remote and untouched landscapes. However, they can be accessed via the "Cami de Cavalls," which runs along the island's coast and is well-signposted. Menorca was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1991. The quality of Menorca's beaches and waters is exceptional, and it is the duty of all of us, both visitors and locals, to respect and care for the existing ecosystem, enjoying nature without affecting or altering it.

Arenal d'en Castell Beach

Located in the Es Mercadal area, it is easily accessible and has bus services. Despite being one of the urbanized areas of the island, its beach, over 500 meters long, circular in shape, and with a fairly closed connection to the sea, offers protection to swimmers. It is of almost perfect beauty and boasts one of the most beautiful sandy areas in the northern part of the island. There are interesting places to explore in the surrounding area. Lifeguard services are available from May 1st to October 31st, along with amphibious chairs, sunbeds, and pedal boats. There are apartments for rent, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and many services to enjoy water sports.
