As the first place in Spain to see the sunrise, Minorca is like the country’s ambassador to the morning. Beaches here are beautiful and, surprisingly, relatively empty. The jewel-colored water is a magnet for waterskiers, windsurfers and sailors. Playa De Binigaus beach is perfect for families, while Cala Mitjana is an idyllic spot for romance. Head to the town of Alaoir to nibble on some fresh local cheese or turn back time in the charming fishing village of Fornells.

This is an absolutely beautiful beach which is surrounded by pine forests and has crystal clear blue sea. The beach is also very clean and well-kept and it had a very calm and relaxed feel. It is advisable to drive to the beach and be warned that the carpark has a limited amount of space and once it's full, they don't let any more cars in, so to guarantee getting in it's best to aim to arrive by 9.15am (I know it's an early wake up but it's worth it). it is a 25 minute walk through pine forests from the carpark to Cala Macarella which is also beautiful but larger and less secluded. To get to Cala Macaraletta, it is a 5-10 minute walk up and down the adjacent cliff (there is a clear and relatively safe path) which has some amazing views of both beaches from the top. There is also a friendly and funny man who makes freshly-made mojitos (classic or with raspberries and blueberries) at the corner of the beach which are 7 euros each and were some of the most delicious mojitos I've ever had. They are well worth trying! All in all,if you want a day at a beautiful beach, this should definitely be on your itinerary.

What a great place to visit. Everything seemed so mysterious. We were here in the autumn so there was not so many people around and it was quite warm - perfect for visiting this site.

Cala del Pilar is a wonderful beach reached by a 45 minute walk through beautiful woodland. Car parking is in a designated park. We visited on a spring day in January, There were less than 10 cars in the car park but does get very busy mid summer.

Although the Cami de Cavalls goes on for miles, we have only walked the path from Santo Tomas to Son Bou, as we have always found other things to do while staying on the beautiful island of Menorca. But we do like this trail. It is uneven under foot in places, and we saw people walking in flip flops, but would strongly recommend sturdy footwear for climbing and walking. We have walked in Spring and Autumn. In the spring you can see (and hear) the wonderful Bee-eaters flying over the pine trees that back the coastline near the sand dunes. The terrain at Santo Tomas could be quite difficult if struggling with hip, joints or any injuries.

Beautiful city, full of great architecture, good market and plenty of shops, scenic harbour. Reasonable prices in restaurants. Went twice in a week. The cathedral is amazing.
