This place is no gentle stroll. It's a steep and winding path of sand and rocks, with steps to access it, but no flat areas in sight. I definitely needed my walking sticks, and had to take plenty of rest stops. It's a lovely secluded beach, but there are no facilities, not even a portable toilet. However, it does have a Virgin beach with no amenities. If you're fit enough to make the journey, it's worth it, but make sure you take drinks and leave before dark, as the steps up the rocks can be quite a challenge.

A 45-minute trek is a small price to pay for the incredible sights and the beautiful beach at the end. We recommend arriving early to make the most of the experience - we encountered some goats and it was truly magical!

This location is a magical place, boasting beautiful scenery, crystal-clear water and an amazing sense of calm that is only enhanced by the sound of the sea. Goats can be seen grazing on the hill, and the journey to the beach takes around 30-45 minutes, making for a wonderful walk. In March, we had the beach all to ourselves – and the sand is a beautiful, warm brown.

What a beautiful beach and gorgeous 40 min hike to it - it was definitely worth the effort! We had the best day of our holiday walking to this beach and the scenery was outstanding. The sandy beach was situated in a little cove and had a beautiful brown sand. It wasn't very busy when we visited in April, and there was plenty of room on the beach for sunbathing or swimming. Make sure you wear trainers to walk in, not sandals (like me!) but there's no need for formal walking gear. 10/10!

Menorca's beach is simply breathtaking! I was so taken with the gorgeous colors of the sand and rocks, I couldn't help but love my time there. Even though the journey to the beach is a bit lengthy, it's certainly worth the effort. I was advised to allow 45 minutes, but I made it in 25 at a brisk pace. I highly recommend it! Just be aware that you may encounter someone at the beginning of the road who tells you the parking is full, but don't let it discourage you. A friend advised me to go on and when I arrived, there was plenty of space. Don't miss out on one of the best beaches of the island!
