Minorca Attractions
Beaches
Menorca’s beautiful beaches cover its 217 kilometre circumference and it has more individual beaches than the rest of the Balearic Islands combined. Some of the beaches feature lovely golden sands while others are more rocky with dark red sands. The beaches are probably one of the island’s best attractions and are certainly well worth a visit.
