This Minorca beach is a favorite for many. It's equipped with plenty of beach umbrellas that can be rented for 16€, or you can purchase your own from the various shops nearby. The ocean is stunning and there's ample room to take a dip.

This beach is an excellent choice for families! The sand is wonderfully soft and inviting, perfect for little feet. To ensure you get a great spot, try to arrive early so you can snag a good parking spot. Plus, you can enjoy free WIFI while you relax. The shallow waters make it an ideal spot for kids to play safely. Highly recommended!

This spot may seem glorious, but the sand is far from soft and the dunes are anything but natural. The lake is more like a pond, and the ducks are more of a nuisance than anything else. The restaurants are mediocre at best, and the inflatable park is a joke.

This place is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the summer heat. With its crystal-clear waters and wide expanse of sand, it's easy to see why it's so popular. Getting here is a breeze, whether you come by car or public transport, and it's especially crowded during July. After 11am, you won't find any umbrellas to rent, but there's plenty of room on the free beach. The dunes behind the beach are a sight to behold, and the nearby lagoon is a haven for wildlife. While there are no trees on the beach itself, you can find some shady spots in the area behind the sand to escape the midday sun.

This beach is a great spot for a day out. It's clean and spacious, with plenty of room for everyone. There's even two beach bars to choose from if you're feeling peckish. The facilities are spotless, and if you're after a bit more space, a short stroll will take you to the quieter part of the beach. The water is a stunning crystal clear blue and the sand is kept in great condition. All in all, it's a fantastic place to spend the day.
