Menorca has two very different coasts, both equally beautiful. Choosing the right route based on the day and the wind makes the difference between a good trip and a perfect one.
South coast route: turquoise coves
- Son Saura — a wide beach to start the day.
- Cala en Turqueta — an essential stop for your first swim.
- Macarella and Macarelleta — the island's jewels.
- Cala Mitjana and Trebalúger — to finish in peace.
North coast route: wild nature
- Cala Pregonda — reddish sand and a unique landscape.
- Cala Pilar and Cala Fustam — unspoilt and solitary.
- Illa d'en Colom and Es Grau — sheltered anchorages.
The north coast is more exposed to the tramontana wind, so it's best to pick a calm day.
How to choose your route
The golden rule: sail to leeward. With a northerly wind, the south coast is protected; with a southerly wind, take shelter in the north.
