Best beaches in Menorca for children

Published on 9 September 2024 at 21:49

We had an absolutely fantastic time in Menorca - it's super family friendly and has some fantastic beaches that are perfect for children. Here are some of the top ones:

Cala Galdana

This beach is extremely popular with families due to its wide sandy beach and very clear, calm waters being in a beautiful natural cove. The water is shallow for ages which means kids can wade out for a long time before being out of their depth. The pine forest also provides shelter from the summer sun which is great for the little ones.
