Strände auf Menorca

Best Beaches

Menorca’s coastline is defined by the stark contrast between its southern and northern shores. The south features sheltered coves like Cala Macarella and Cala en Turqueta, characterized by limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and Aleppo pine forests. In contrast, the northern coast offers rugged, wind-sculpted landscapes with reddish sands at Cala Pregonda and Platja de Cavalleria. This selection includes the island's longest stretch of sand at Son Bou and secluded bays like Cala Escorxada, accessible only by foot or boat.
