Positive experience: Too many seaweeds (half the beach is full) and many zodiac boats coming and going, forcing you to breathe diesel on the beach. There is no water anywhere to clean yourself, not even your feet or anything... there are no ashtrays because smoking is not allowed on the beach, but you still breathe in the diesel from the boats and cars just 15 meters away... The beach can be improved on the west side (seaweeds everywhere) and also on the east side which is somewhat abandoned...
Fantastic experience: Its just fantastic, love it here and been so many times. Chill out on the beach, get a coffee / drink at the beech cafe. Great choice of restaurants just across the road running parallel to the beach and parking also near by.
Positive experience: Nice large sandy beach with great views everything there you would expect lifeguards, medical,toilets,large car park shops for all your holiday needs
Fantastic experience: This is a small resort in beautiful Menorca, with small white sand beach. Popular with tourists and locals. Safe place to swim in the warm clear sea and walks along coastal path.
Fantastic experience: This is a very nice place to visit, white sandy beach, clean clear blue water, free parking & lots of restaurants. There are also market stalls regularly and they change daily. For water sports Black Lizard hire kayaks, surfing equipment. Recommend going across to the nearby island where there are local black Lizards that will eat bananas straight from your hands - amazing experience.

Fantastic experience: Small beach by the seaside, not very wide but with many shops and restaurants behind. Free sanitary facilities are also available! Animals are not allowed on the beach, and we can find many posidonia along the edges.

Fantastic experience: Small beach with fine sand, crystal clear water and no problems for swimming, well located with shops and restaurants nearby.
Fantastic experience: Fine sandy beach, very pleasant with a view of the lighthouse. Rental of 2 sunbeds with a parasol for €20 without time limit. Very pleasant. Close to a campervan area if you have chosen this option to explore the island. Alternatively, nearby all-inclusive hotels in Punta Prima.
Positive experience: Small beach with a good beach bar and a lot of seaweed on the sand.
Positive experience: Small, white sand beach. Not a lot going on and plenty more prettier beaches to visit on the island. 2 small supermarkets close by as well as restaurants and kids play area.
Negative experience: Sea was dirty full of litter plus weed and sharp stones 17€ for 2 x sunbeds we stayed for an hour.

Fantastic experience: Small beach with fine sand, crystal clear water and no problems for swimming, well located with shops and restaurants nearby.
Positive experience: Small stretch of promenade with some shops, a supermarket (one of which also sells tobacco), a restaurant, and above all (in case of necessity) a pharmacy. Ideal for taking a stroll in the evening if you are staying in the area. The beach is decent, of course, being in Menorca, there are many others that are more characteristic. Unfortunately, this year, unlike previous years, we did not find the stalls that usually moved in front of the beach, what a pity..
Positive experience: Small beach with a good beach bar and a lot of seaweed on the sand.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, but lots of seaweed! There is a supermarket and many restaurants to suit most budgets. Good bus service to the capital, Mahon.

Fantastic experience: Spiaggia libera(volendo si può affittare sdraio e ombrellone)con bagnino,servizi igienici molto puliti e in settembre l'acqua del mare è calda e gradevolissima . Provare x credere
Fantastic experience: Bonita playa de arena blanca ideal si buscas tener sevicios cerca como bus, restaurantes, supermercado, etc. Hay socorrista durante el verano
Positive experience: Excelente playa aunque un poco abarrotada en temporada alta. Cuenta con un gran aparcamiento, socorristas y una buena oferta de restauración. Bonitas vistas a la isla del Aire y a su faro.

Fantastic experience: Small beach with fine sand, crystal clear water and no problems for swimming, well located with shops and restaurants nearby.
Positive experience: Stunning, like all the beaches in Menorca. A few seaweeds on the shore, but the sea is definitely worth it. Equipped, bar with snack prices definitely above the island’s average, quality just sufficient. Worth returning, just for the sea.

Negative experience: Die Aussicht auf diesen Strandabschnitt ist super, jedoch ist das Meer hier häufig aufgewühlt. Zum Surfen bietet er sich super an. Möchte man lediglich Schnorcheln, dann würde ich eine Bucht empfehlen. Es gibt eine kleine Promenade, an der man gemütlich entlang schlendern kann und Restaurants sowie Supermärkte.
Fantastic experience: In the winter it's an excellent place to walk your dog's and have a bite to eat or a warm drink watching the surfers enjoy the waves.
Positive experience: Świetna mała plaża. Trochę surferow. Ratownik na miejscu. Toalety i natrysk aby opłukać nogi. Jest gdzie zjeść i napić się dobrych drinków po wodnych szaleństwach. Choć przy większej fali ratownik potrafi wezwać policję, aby wyganiała ludzi z wody. Fale na prawdę potrafią być niebezpieczne.

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach. Nice and clean. Great for snorkeling and swimming and great for the kids
