1 – Cala’n Porter Beach – Menorca’s most unique beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
Cala’n Porter is one of Menorca’s most important seaside resorts. It is attached to the municipality of the village of Alaior. I was carried away by the scenery: transparent water, fine sand, cliffs, all with few morning crowds. And best of all, you can easily get there without planning a hike. A real advantage in Menorca!
It’s a well-known seaside resort on the island, but one that’s not overcrowded with tourists all day long. You’ll find a multitude of water sports activities, a few quiet spots, access to several nature spots, an exceptional setting with clear turquoise water in the middle of cliffs that open up like 2 gigantic doors. The local people were welcoming, as is often the case in Menorca.
Long sandy beach at Cala’n Porter with clear turquoise water, shallow at first. The beach opens onto a mouth between 2 30m-high cliffs, giving a glimpse of catamarans and other boats docking before heading out to sea. Fish can be seen quite close to the rocks, where the depth is not yet great.

2 – Binibeca Beach – Menorca’s best beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
In my opinion, Binibeca beach is one of the most beautiful in Menorca, with fine sand and turquoise water, and catamarans and sailboats alongside. Despite its small size, I think Binibeca beach is one of the most beautiful in Menorca, with fine sand and turquoise water, and catamarans and sailboats alongside. It’s located in the south-east of the island, close to the typical village of Binibèquer Vell.
It’s a child-friendly beach, with shallow waters. You’ll even find a bin with games and reusable beach accessories (many beaches have them) to give these objects a 2nd life. There are also a few shady spots. It’s a perfect area for snorkeling and getting to know Menorca’s marine life. If you’re into water sports, you can try your hand at transparent kayaking and cave touring with snorkeling.

3 – Sa Mesquida beach – rest and reconnect with nature
Why it’s worth a visit…
On the northeastern tip of Menorca, Sa Mesquida is a small fishing village whose beach has been the scene of historic moments of conquest. Little known, the cove and beach are not always crowded. The turquoise water makes you want to dive into the waves! From the sand, you can enjoy views of the village and the Torre de Sa Mesquida defensive tower, a British legacy dating back to 1799.
Once on Sa Mesquida beach, access to the famous Cami de Cavalls is easy enough for hiking and discovering Menorcan nature. Some boat cruises make a stop here if you prefer to discover it by sea.
The area is surrounded by lush greenery and large rocks. You can even take a stroll here. On the left, the Sa Mesquida bunker is carved out of the rock, so be careful if you venture in.

Cala Galdana is known for:
- its extensive sandy beach and turquoise waters,
- its cove where beautiful boats dock, offering a panorama worthy of a painting,
- restaurants and lively nightlife,
- beautiful hotels and accommodation to suit all tastes.
This long sandy beach bordered by cliffs was a beautiful canvas to admire in the morning or at sunset. The famous beach of Cala Macarella can also be reached after a few tens of minutes’ walk from Cala Galdana. Various cruises can be organized from this must-see seaside resort in Menorca.

5 – Cala Blanca Beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
To the west of Menorca near Ciutadella, Cala Blanca is a relaxing beach overlooking the coast of Mallorca when the sky is clear. I felt soothed watching these rocks forming a huge corridor that opens out into the Mediterranean Sea. A good option if you’re with the family, the beach is easy to access, with children’s playgrounds, stores and several restaurants overlooking the water in bewitching shades of blue.
There can be a lot of seaweed in this area, but the beach is regularly cleaned. If you like surprises and treasure hunts, opt for a kayak tour with treasure hunt that will take you to Cala Blanca. So, are you ready for adventure?

Why it’s worth a visit…
Looking for a wild beach with no hotels, restaurants or stores on the horizon? The beach at Cala Turqueta (or Cala en Turqueta) is one of the stops on the Cami de Cavalls hiking trail, so it’s accessible by bike or on horseback. It’s not very wide, but it immersed me in Menorca’s green, rocky nature. Once my car was parked in the parking lot, I walked into the forest on the well-marked, fairly easy path. The setting is truly beautiful, with white sand preceding the clear waters of the sea. The surrounding rocks are covered with pine, olive and oak trees, forming an elegant green mantle that can be a little surprising near a beach.
I advise you to get there early enough in the morning to find a place to park in the free dedicated parking lot, and above all to enjoy this pretty beach in peace!

7 – Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer Beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
Cala’n Bosc is part of the municipality of Ciutadella, in the west of Menorca.Despite its touristy side, the beauty of this place made a lasting impression on me: its fine white sand, turquoise waters, the view of the horizon, the many palm trees that line it. I felt quite comfortable here, as the beach is quite wide with an unobstructed view.
On site, you’ll enjoy a wide choice of accommodation, easy access to the beach, volleyball courts and easy access to the main road for exploring the island. It’s a famous spot in Menorca, and can be very busy in high season (July and August in particular). Son Xoriguer beach, near Cami de Cavalls, is just a few minutes’ walk away.

On site, you can choose from a wide range of accommodation of all types with easy access to the beach, activities suitable for all ages and proximity to famous landmarks such as the Puente de Gil natural bridge or the Punta Nati lighthouse.

9 – Binigaus Beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
Binigaus beach is relatively quiet. I liked its proximity to the forest, with all the greenery and trees so close to the fine sand and turquoise water. It’s also a great place for swimming, especially if you like to jump between the waves! It’s a family-friendly spot where young and old alike can relax and enjoy the first shallow levels of the sea.
A few private residences face the beach, back from the sandbar. There are also some fine resorts like the Hotel Gran Melia Villa Le Blanc which, despite its imposing size and high-end services worthy of a grand luxury hotel, blends perfectly into the landscape.
If you’re curious and like adventure, the grotto Cova des Coloms, one of Menorca’s most famous, can be reached by hiking from this beach (approx. 45min walk).

10 – Santo Tomas Beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
Santo Tomas is an urbanized area on Menorca’s south coast, surrounded by hills and forests, close to Es Migjorn Gran.
Sant Tomas beach is more of a seaside resort, with a beautiful stretch of sand and restaurants nearby.
What’s so special about this beach? The authenticity and calm of the beach, which doesn’t feel like a tourist resort with big hotel complexes. I really loved the tall trees lined up like a hedge of honor as I drove up the road to Santo Tomas, giving the place an already intimate feel.

Why it’s worth a visit…
This beach is very small indeed, nestling between the beaches of Binigaus and Santo Tomas. The setting is family-friendly, with deckchairs and umbrellas available for hire. If you’re a pedal-boat enthusiast, you can also rent one on site. There are no large buildings nearby, just the Mediterranean Sea, the rocks and the elevated promenade all along the bay that groups the 3 beaches on this southern part of the Menorcan coast. The water is good, so it’s suitable for young and old alike. Just beware of the surrounding rocks and pebbles when swimming.

12 – Cala Mitjana Beach
Why it’s worth a visit…
Cala Mitjana is one of Menorca’s best-known southern beaches. I immersed myself in Menorcan nature, hiking through the forest before reaching the beach and cove. Along the way, I even spotted some old lime kilns, common on Menorca and a testament to how self-sufficient and sustainable this rustic island once was.
The sandbar isn’t large, but the color of the water and the surroundings, lined with white striated rocks and lush green trees, are worth the detour! You can reach Cala Galdana on foot by following the path that climbs between the rocks and heads towards the forest (approx. 25min walk). Don’t forget your GPS and flashlight, depending on the time of day. The Cami de Cavalls also passes nearby, so will you enjoy a horseback ride to admire the wild beauty of Cala Mitjana?
Make sure you get there early enough in the morning to avoid the crowds and secure a parking space, even if it’s quite spacious compared to others on the island. For snorkeling enthusiasts, I’ve found this to be an ideal spot for observing marine biodiversity, but only at low tide. Have a nice swim!

13 to 18 – Other best beaches in Menorca
13 – Sa Caleta Beach
Sa Caleta is located on the west side of the island. Numerous boats and sailboats dock in the cove, and as I walked along the rocks, I discovered a tiny, secluded beach just a quarter of an hour’s walk from Cala Blanca. From Sa Caleta, I could see Mallorca’s coastline on the horizon in daylight, and even between the sublime shades of sunset later in the afternoon. Sa Caleta is less than a 15-minute drive from Ciutadella, where you can rent deckchairs on site.
It’s also a good spot for snorkeling, as the water is transparent and not very rough. You may be lucky enough to spot schools of fish, especially near the rocks!
See top-rated accommodations in Sa Caleta.
14 – Beaches of Cala Macarella and Cala Macarelleta
Cala Macarella and Cala Macarelleta are coves and beaches renowned in Menorca for their beauty. In order to preserve them, access by car is not possible. You can get there by bus from Ciutadella, by bike or by boat. Indeed, several day cruises call at these 2 heavenly spots.

The vegetation in the surrounding area is fairly dry compared with Cala Turqueta or Cala Mitjana in the south of the island.
There are no beach umbrellas or deckchairs for hire on site, but the beach is wide enough to accommodate your towel (please note: there are no shady areas). Arrive early to avoid the busy hours. Toilets and a grocery store are located in the parking lot before descending wooden stairs to the beach. To extend the adventure, the Cami de Cavalls makes a stop near this beach with its almost lunar decor.
See the top-rated accommodations in Cala Cavallerie.
