Often addresses here and in guide books, leaflets will be listed as Ferreries-Galdana km 5. Menorcan roads have Kilometer marker signs on the side and are the best guide to where a location is. So the previous address is along the road from Ferreries direction of Galdana around the 5 Kilometer marker.
IMPORTANT: children under 12 must travel in rear seat of taxis and cars ( with correct seating ) and Guardia( traffic Police) will often sit at junctions/roudabouts and make stop checks - possible on the spot fines!

Outdoor Family Adventures - Places to Explore
Children, love to explore. Menorca has Tunnels, Towers and secret gorges all places where their energy and fantasy can run free.
Menorca's rich history has left a legacy of big scale outdoor places to visit. Even if you are not into history the locations are very scenic and children will love the myriad of underground tunnels/rooms to let out energy (Â perfectly safe ).
With so much of the island preserved by environmental laws the island has many, many beautiful places to walk and discover.
Its important to walk at the right time of day and to have plenty of water with you. And don't forget when walking close to the coast to have swimwear and a towel so you can take that well earnt swim on that remote beach you've reached!
There are deep lush gorges that start in the centre of the island and meander to the coast to open up out into a beautiful beaches. Take a walk early morning or evening in S'Albufera National park and enjoy a drink on the beach in Es Grau.

What to do Outdoors
Family exploration - visits and days outdoors on land
Waterski-ing and JetSki is available though not wide spread. At most resort beaches, even a few virgin beachess (eg Algariens,Es Grau,Macarella ) there will always be Fun Pedalos,Paddle Boards,Family Kayaks to hire.
The pristine waters of Menorca are a real holiday memory. They are amazingly clear so even with just a simple snorkel you will see lots, not murky haze. And because the water is in such good condition you'll see lots of fish too. Many, many of the resort beaches have shallow sandy bottoms fringed with rocks, ideal for young snorkellers. Organised trips can make a great family day out with as a Snorkel Safari or stop off as part of a Boat excusrions. There are also marine reserves around Menorca where the marine life is even more abundent.
