Menorca has more than 100 beaches and coves, and they don't all serve the same purpose. The south holds the white-sand, turquoise-water coves (Macarella, Turqueta, Mitjana); the north has wilder beaches of reddish or dark sand shaped by the tramontana wind (Pregonda, Cavalleria, Cala Pilar).
On this map you can filter coves by what you're after: the postcard turquoise ones, the unspoilt service-free coves reached on foot, the family-friendly beaches with services and shallow water, or those with parking nearby. Each point includes how to get there.
Tip: in July and August the most famous coves fill up and car parks close mid-morning; go early or at sunset, or pick an unspoilt northern beach for space.
