Menorca is a paradise for beach lovers. It’s quieter and less developed than its neighbour, Mallorca, and there are still numerous stunning beaches and tiny coves with crystal-clear turquoise waters to explore. It’s great for families, as the water is often very shallow and calm, and also great for those seeking remote and unspoilt stretches of sand. To help you choose the best beach for you, here’s our ten favourite beaches on the island.
Cala Trebalúger
One of the quieter beaches on the southern coast, Cala Trebalúger is an unspoilt cove backed by pine forests, a gorge and the mouth of the river Trebalúger. It’s only accessible by boat or a 40-minute hike from the car park near Cala Mitjana, but is well worth the trek. The water here is particularly clear and the surrounding area is brimming with wildlife, particularly in the gorge behind the beach. Although it’s relatively quiet, in high season tourist boats arrive frequently throughout the middle of the day, so it’s best to get here early or later in the afternoon if you want to avoid boat traffic.
