Without doubt one of Menorca's greatest attractions are it's wonderful and varied beaches. And no matter where your Holiday Home is located you are never more than 8 Km away from the next beach! Even the furthest beach from you on the map is never more than a hour away from your resort. If you decide not to hire a car a bus service links the most popular resorts and their local beaches. Due to their geological origins many of Menorcas beaches (very common on the south coast) have gently sloping beaches falling into the sea, making the waters warm, with shallow sandy bottoms stretching for many, many metres out flanked by rocky edges. Ideal for children and great for snorkelling.

For the romantically and adventurously inclined there are many remote beaches only accessible on foot, where often you will find them completely deserted or with just a few like minded people. And because there are more beaches (100+) than on Majorca and Ibizia combined even in high summer you won't be fighting for your 2m2!
Our sister site has all the details on the beaches including a great interactive map to show you where they are, how they look and how to get there. Read on for details about menorca beaches
