Rated as one of, if not the best resort beaches on Menorca, especially for smaller children due it's perfect sands, incredibly gently sloping shallows, falling into crystal clear turquoise waters. And while this makes it very popular for children the beach is big enough for those who prefer to avoid the little ones to find their ideal spots too!
The beach can be reached on foot via steps, by car with free car parking under shade or you can walk down beach road from the centre on pavement (suitable for buggies)
Wheel chair users have their own toilet and wheelcair access to the sea with assistance.
A 'ting ting' train can return you back to the resort or Taxi ( 5-7 Eur )
At the beach front their are public toilets and a red cross/lifeguards post. There is a few beachside Cafe bars and basic restaurants along the beachside promenade.
Some might complain about the steps to get back up from the beach, but they like everyone else adore the beach bay views from below and above. Plenty of pausing areas.
