You are planning to go to Menorca for the holidays and have a preference for comfortable beaches equipped for children. Here is the information you are looking for on the greenest island of the Balearics.
Famous for its beaches and transparent water, Minorca it is a popular destination especially for those who want to spend a relaxing period with the family or in the company of friends.
However, keep in mind that the island is not known for its nightlife, for that Ibiza is more suitable. However, there are some places with a breathtaking view, famous for a cocktail at sunset, which can only be reached by car or organized trips.
Few people know what Menorca is the greenest island of the Balearics. The northern part has lovely red sand beaches, while the southern one has fine white sand, such as Santo Tomas beach.
Beaches they are often not easy to reach, forcing the viewer to take off-the-beaten-path and somewhat inaccessible routes, however there are many beaches particularly suitable for families with children, equipped with Skills of ladders or in any case paths that are easy to follow, making everything more comfortable and practical. The following beaches are among them:
the bay of Santo Tomas, in the south, that of Son Bou, defined the longest of Menorca with its 2,4 km., theArenal d'en Castell, located to the north-east and that of Binibeca, southeast of this paradise.
Plus it is also recommended Macarella, the wildest beach of all, with a crystalline sea and fine, clear sand: a small horseshoe-shaped cove where the water is very calm.
Keep in mind that it is very popular.
You can comfortably park your car at the outdoor car park or be dropped off by organized tour buses right at the entrance to these beaches or just a few meters away.
Rest assured, here there are lifeguards who are attentive and in charge of monitoring the shoreline and the sea. The waters here are shallow and moderately calm.
If you are traveling with a small child, we recommend that you carry it in a fanny pack, suitable in these areas especially if you have bags and games with you. Never forget to bring water or something to drink and nibble on, protection such as sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Some beaches do not have umbrellas, which you can buy cheaply or rent for the whole day at the hotel where you are staying.
Better shoes on your feet and bring some slippers with you.
In many cases they are also present restaurant services with snacks and drinks, albeit spartan. The only negative side: being very targeted because most people prefer them for all the positive aspects listed above, they are more crowded than the others, even if in Menorca it is never chaotic like the other Balearic islands. Moreover, between islands and coves there are more than 200 on the whole island so everyone finds their own corner.
You just have to decide the period that suits you best, book a flight to this beautiful, peaceful and green island and immerse yourself in the unspoiled nature of its places, taking walks or horseback riding and why not jeep trips or by side-car to discover the island.
