Menorca beaches by boat
We leave from the port of Mahón. There are two fascinating options to explore: the Northern Route and the Southern Route . On each of these routes we will discover spectacular beaches, which not only include the well-known destinations, but also secret corners where few reach. During our excursions, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing paddle surf ride or dive into the crystal clear waters of Menorca for snorkeling.
*Important: The choice of the route will depend on weather conditions, thus ensuring a perfect experience.
North Route:
Wild Beauty and Tranquility
The Northern Route is characterized by a more virgin and arid landscape. In general it is less crowded and we find beaches and corners much less crowded. This is especially appreciated in the middle of summer to find the maximum tranquility. It offers beautiful contrasts and we will find spectacular bottoms to enjoy snorkeling.
Short route for half day (4h) motorcycles / Route for the Llaut:
1. Cap Negre
It is an idyllic and uncrowded corner. The perfect place to take your first swim. It is a wonderful place for snorkeling, with impressive seabed. In addition, there is little influx of boats, which makes it more special.
2. Sa Mesquida
This place always surprises! We usually anchor in a charming corner with fisherman-style cottages that create a beautiful landscape. An old watchtower from the 18th century stands out. It is a very quiet place, perfect for snorkeling.
3. Illa den Colom
The stop par excellence. Located in front of Es Grau, in the middle of a natural park, it is surprising for its shallow and totally crystalline waters, perfect for anchoring and enjoying a quiet swim. The island has two virgin beaches that make this place a true paradise.
4. Cala Rambles
A virgin cove next to the wildest Illa d'en Colom, there are usually very few boats and it is very sheltered. Ideal to get away from the crowds in the middle of summer. You can anchor near the beach.

Turquoise Waters and Spectacular Cliffs Route
This route is characterized by clearer waters with a striking turquoise blue due to the whiter sands of the bottoms. In this route we will be impacted by its cliffs. In these we find beautiful corners and caves to find the maximum tranquility.

A very nice small entrance. It has a small beach at the end. This site always offers great shelter and is ideal for calm swimming and snorkeling or a relaxing paddle surfing trip.
6 Cales Coves
A stunning place, an obligatory stop. Hidden among the cliffs, we find a sheltered corner that forms a cove of unique beauty, with a completely different landscape from the rest of the route. This cove has a fascinating history, as it was an ancient necropolis. We can still see the caves in the cliffs, which once served as tombs.
