Menorca - all beaches

Cala piques beach is an amazing place to relax your mind and enjoy crystal clear water. Good thing is close to the road and easy to find parking space. It's really clean and well maintained.

Amazing! It's small, but the crystal clear water more than makes up for it. I'm 6'3 and I couldn't stand up in the water until I was 200m out - perfect for swimming and paddling for the little ones. There are lots of rocks to explore, so you can look for crabs and tiny fish. Menorca is a rocky island and this beach is a real gem - a great find!

The rocky outcrop is not a traditional beach, but it is perfect for a quick visit. It offers opportunities for snorkeling and jumping off rocks. Additionally, there is a small cave that you can swim into and climb up inside.

An exclusive spot to take a dip in its tranquil, clean, and crystal clear waters.

This beach is the quieter of the two and is very family-friendly. Lifeguards are present at the first beach. You can reach it either by taking the path from the lower parking lot (head right at the stone walking entry and follow the farm plot path) or by passing the first beach. In both cases, look for the freestanding metal gate door at the base of the hill and follow the path behind the hill (not the one by the sea, as it can be a bit treacherous). On your way, take a moment to observe the shy turtles and lazy fish. There are two parking lots, which tend to fill up by midday and are monitored. Make sure to bring enough water and food. There is a vendor who walks around both beaches selling refreshments, but the prices are quite high (Coke 2.50€, crisps 3€). The image is of the first beach...

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.
