The Best Beaches of Menorca
The Balearic Islands have long been attracting sun worshippers to bask on their white beaches
, bronzing themselves under a Mediterranean sun.
These beaches have a notorious reputation as being some of the best in Europe, with their white sands and clear, tranquil waters. Ibiza waters have even been added to the UNESCO world heritage as a sight of natural beauty.
Yet Menorca seems to offer the most beaches with the widest range of diversity, whether you wish for a bustling beach full of atmosphere and energy, or quite secluded spot Menorca has it all.
Stumbling from one of the
Menorca villas you can head to any of these locations, for a pleasant evening of lounging around.
Cala Marcella, Alaoir
Marcella is a wonderful secluded cove covered with white sands, and tranquil turquoise waters, the green stretching lands make a beautiful corridor to the waters offering a shaded swimming area in a warm sea.
During the summer it is unfortunately rather too crowded, yet in August you can enjoy these splendour filled beaches with a much less substantial crowd.
It is a perfect location for relaxing floats on the sea, also you can take a short stroll down to the more remote Marcelleta cove, a location popular with nudists.
For eats there are some great little bistros nearby. The Susi restaurant is right on the beach and serves good tapas portions to be shared with friends and family. Though it is advisable to turn up early or you will stand very slight chance of being served.
The beach is a short drive from Citudella, taking about ten minutes by car, there is free car park nearby.
Pregonda
Near Es Mercadel, is the Pregond beach, a stretching spread of sand and sea that bring in many tourists. Pregonda is a long slice of beautiful reddish sand, with reddish rocks just off the coast line that bleed their beautiful colours in to the sea surrounding them. There are tiny little sands and inlets to claim as your own and a sea that is placid and crystalline.
This beach attracts the most dedicated of loungers, prepared to hike a good distance for this particular slice of seclusion.
As part of the marine reserve, this is a very well kept beach, home to a colony of rare Andouin Seagulls. The calm waters make this a wonderful location for diving and snorkelling, so bring a mask.
While there are little seaside shacks serving up snacks, they are at very inflated rates for what you get, the best idea is to be very British and take a picnic with you, and have a relaxed lunch. There are no bins here, mostly for aesthetic reasons, in Menorca it is good practice to be prepared to take your Rubbish with you.
The beach is about five miles away from Es Mercadel and pretty easy to locate if you follow the sign posts. There are some car parks fairly near by, but be prepared to spend at least fifteen minutes getting to the water side.
