Fantastic experience: Ideal for families with children and elderly people, easy access, public parking
Negative experience: It has a quite spacious parking lot with 300 spaces, but we went and the beach was very neglected with a lot of seaweed on the sand, shore, and in the water. The worst beach or cove in Menorca without a doubt.
Fantastic experience: Small quiet beach outside of peak times, the color of the water is beautiful. There is a large parking lot close by.
Fantastic experience: This beach is by our hotel and it's a nice sandy beach. The water is cold but refreshing. There's food and shops nearby. Free parking nearby.
Positive experience: The beach itself is quite common and crowded. It has white sand. At the end of the promenade, there is a path by the sea where you can enjoy the sunset very comfortably.

Fantastic experience: Très belle plage dans une petite station balnéaire familiale avec un grand parking à proximité. À quelques minutes à pied se trouve un escalier taillé dans la roche volcanique qui donne sur eau turquoise paradisiaque.

Positive experience: White sandy beach. Close to bars and restaurants.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful white sand beach and crystal clear sea
Positive experience: There are some incredible beaches on the island. Punta Prima is: rocky (good for rock pooling) exposed (good if you like a choppy or wavy sea). Parts of it are sandy but not much. Despite staying in a hotel in Punta Prima, we only spent two days at that beach.
Positive experience: Nice white sand, parasols and beds available at a charge. Not a large beach. Popular and close to bars/restaurants.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with many shops and restaurants around. Public toilets available and also a free water fountain to fill bottles. This is a non-smoking beach and has lifeguards on duty. Chairs and umbrellas available for 9 € per day each. Very clean area with plenty to do for the whole family. The scenery is amazing looking towards the lighthouse.
Positive experience: Ich finde es sehr schade, das Urlauber den Strand mit Kippen und Verpackung anfangen zu vermüllen. Ich selbst habe Abfall mit genommen und am nächsten Mülleimer, der nur ein paar Schritte entfernt war, zu entsorgen. Rettungschwimmer sind vor Ort, jedoch der Hochsitz für die Rettungsschwimmer war nicht mehr da. Dort hing immer eine Fahne die vor Gefahr warnte. Speziell vor Quallen. Der Strand hat sehr viel Seegras, was aber natürlich ist und deshalb kein Mangel sein kann. Man kann sich für kleines Geld Strandliegen mieten. Aber der Sand ist so fein, der passt sich schnell den Körper an. Bei den anliegenden Geschäften kann man sich mit allem versorgen.
Fantastic experience: Sauberer schöner Strand, es gibt auch in der Hauptsaison immer einen freien Platz, stets von zwei lifeguards überwacht. Das Wasser ist Kristallklar und super sauber
Positive experience: Playa accesible en silla de ruedas. Con pasarela, wc adaptado y unos socorristas encantadores. Así da gusto! Dos chicos muy amables en agosto de 2021 que me ayudaron con la silla anfibia. Todo perfecto. No le doy 5 estrellas Porque tiene algas y bastantes piedras hay que ir con cuidado.
Fantastic experience: Punta Prima es extraordinaria, tiene el tamaño y la accesibilidad necesaria para estar con su familia, sin peligros, tranquila por las noches porque no hay discotecas. Sitio ideal para poner sus neuronas en equilibrio, disfrutar buena comida sin esperas a un módico precio para cualquier bolsillo. La playa es lo suficientemente bien mantenida y cercada impidiendo la llegada de embarcaciones dentro del perímetro de seguridad. Algunos otros individuos han advertido del peligro de la invasión de embarcaciones dentro del sitio de boyas. Esto es eventual y cualquier navegante puede confundirse sin embargo no ha habido accidentes de ningún tipo por esta clase de situación. Por otro lado, para opinar hay que conocer y no es posible la invasión de lanchas dada la escasa profundidad que tiene aparte de la zona de rocas lo que hace muy improbable que sea frecuente dicho problema

Fantastic experience: Beautiful white sand beach and crystal clear sea
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved it, beautiful place
Fantastic experience: Small beach with crystal clear water, when there are no seaweeds, warm and shallow.
Fantastic experience: Even arriving at the last hour of the afternoon, we were able to enjoy its crystal clear waters!
Positive experience: It's not one of the best I've seen around here. Today it's full of Seba and there's hardly any space to enjoy the water. If you're uncomfortable, it's better to go to Cala en Porter. There are many restaurants nearby. Sunshades and loungers are available for rent at a price of 20 euros for the whole day. Regards.

Fantastic experience: Charming rustic beach. Sand is lovely and the area has some great bars and restaurants. We didn’t use the expensive sun loungers so beware. But the place has a lovely relaxed and casual feel about it. Loved the foot fountains to wash off the sand. When the sea is calm you won’t have to snorkel far to see the fish and quite a few different types.
Fantastic experience: Schöner Strand und gut zum schnorcheln
Positive experience: Spiaggia molto affollata lunga 100 metri, circondata da scogli, attrezzata per 1/4 il resto libera. Facendo snorkeling si possono vedere molti pesci. Nelle vicinanze c'è un ampio parcheggio senza ombra, molti ristoranti, raggiungibile anche con autobus. Unico difetto la puzza di fogna che ho sentito in più giorni e un tubo sospetto che al centro della spiaggia si inabissa nel mare.
Positive experience: Schöner Strand ca. 200 meter breit. Wasser flach ideal für Kinder. Viel Seegras im Wasser. Aber auch viele Fische zum Schnorcheln bei den Felsen.

Positive experience: There are some incredible beaches on the island. Punta Prima is: rocky (good for rock pooling) exposed (good if you like a choppy or wavy sea). Parts of it are sandy but not much. Despite staying in a hotel in Punta Prima, we only spent two days at that beach.
Negative experience: Nice beach, but it smells fishy...
Positive experience: It's a shame the beach is covered in seaweed (which I think is left there to prevent erosion). It still gives a less pleasant appearance and a slight smell of decomposition.
Fantastic experience: Ideal for families with children and elderly people, easy access, public parking
Fantastic experience: Great holidays
Negative experience: The same algae and seaweed that smell quite unpleasant.
Positive experience: Good service for sunbeds and umbrella... at a total cost of 19 euros. Much less than in Italy. Good distance between the various umbrellas.

Positive experience: It's a very nice beach. In my opinion, perfect for spending the morning or the late hours of the day.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach in the southeast area of Menorca. Restaurants and services right by the beach.

Fantastic experience: Passed!
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach
Positive experience: View of Isla de l'Aire. Punta Prima
Positive experience: It probably always depends on when you arrive at a place! We took advantage of the brilliant sunshine in the early afternoon for a visit and were surprised: Despite the wind and quite heavy waves, the beach was full! Just two sun loungers free (outrageously expensive) and somehow a strange atmosphere prevailed at the not-so-clean beach! Well, maybe another time.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Lovely little beach with plenty of bars and shops nearby, well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Fantastic experience: Superb beach, certainly touristy, but the sand is fine and the sea is beautifully clear... No seaweed in May, blue sky and summer temperature...
Fantastic experience: Small quiet beach outside of peak times, the color of the water is beautiful. There is a large parking lot close by.
Positive experience: Really quiet beach which is good, but only a small beach and not very clean. Not a lot going on
Fantastic experience: This beach is by our hotel and it's a nice sandy beach. The water is cold but refreshing. There's food and shops nearby. Free parking nearby.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with all services covered, including restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach with fine sand. It seems that there are sometimes turtles, but we did not see any. We went in November and we were able to swim. It's magical.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach
Positive experience: Too much wave, it is not protected and I did not like the urbanization.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, beautiful sea, but it is often crowded. Unfortunately, the island doesn't have many beaches. But if you wake up early and find the sea calm, it is nothing short of enchanting. Look at my photos taken at 7:00, deserted beach.
Positive experience: Very beautiful seaside resort facing the lighthouse
Fantastic experience: Small beach but charming. Shops, a café, and restaurants nearby.
Positive experience: Full in summer Beautiful off-season
Positive experience: Different charcoal bread
Positive experience: Small beach with white sand, a bit crowded and crystal clear water in front of the lighthouse.
Positive experience: Nice beach, close by to hotels and shops. Lots to explore in the surrounding area. A much higher 4* rating than what it is given. Worth checking out.
Fantastic experience: Pleasantly surprised, I will come back again.
Negative experience: They call it a beach because there is water
Fantastic experience: Lovely place. Perfect for vacationing.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach with many restaurants around.
Fantastic experience: Beach with beautiful views, it's not very big but enough for this season, you have restaurants nearby.
Fantastic experience: It's small but beautiful, it has a little promenade with restaurants and supermarkets.
Positive experience: The beach itself is quite common and crowded. It has white sand. At the end of the promenade, there is a path by the sea where you can enjoy the sunset very comfortably.
Fantastic experience: Excellent beach, very clean, ideal for family visits.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with many shops and restaurants around. Public toilets available and also a free water fountain to fill bottles. This is a non-smoking beach and has lifeguards on duty. Chairs and umbrellas available for 9 € per day each. Very clean area with plenty to do for the whole family. The scenery is amazing looking towards the lighthouse.
Fantastic experience: Nice place!
Negative experience: Very dirty beach full of seaweed, small and 1/4 taken by sunbeds from a restaurant.
Positive experience: Small cove of white sand. Parking nearby, equipped but I recommend arriving early.
Negative experience: During our stay from August 27 to September 6, we didn't swim at this beach even once! Dirty, full of seaweed. It was completely closed for 3 days due to large waves. Good facilities - restaurants, bars, toilets, rental of sunbeds and umbrellas. Possibility to wash your feet after bathing.
Negative experience: No beach only rocks. No bars or restaurants on the promenade, you have to cross a motorway via bridge to get to shops and bars.
Positive experience: Small beach, lovely shallow bay, bit grimy round the edges but all good, little shop on edge of beach and a huge number of supermarkets for such a small place
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with clear sand and transparent sea. There is a huge parking lot nearby.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach, crystal clear and clean water, fine and spacious sand, I can't wait to go back ☺️
Negative experience: Unfortunately, this beach has deteriorated a lot. At the front by the road, there is a stinking sewer that urgently needs to be removed. Ten years ago, there was still a passage to the beach. The washed-up seaweed should also be removed regularly as it used to be, since it starts to stink really bad after a few days.
Fantastic experience: It's a paradise
Positive experience: Perfect for going with children.
Positive experience: Too many people for such a small beach
Positive experience: Lovely views. Lots of little shops and supermarkets.
Fantastic experience: Good for kids
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach with parking space, the shame is that when we went there was a lot of algae and wasps.
Fantastic experience: If you catch it clean... great... white sand... and with a lot of restaurants nearby to eat well... we always go to Casa Santi.
Positive experience: Good temperature, clear water, with nearby bathroom and dining facilities.
Positive experience: We didn't like it very much. It has no charm. A spot for tourists, with four shops.
Fantastic experience: Caught the bus from Mahon to come here for a day out. Nice little beach. Wasn't overly busy, so found some where to plonk ourselves down for a spot of sun bathing. There were several market stalls, which we enjoyed browsing. A good choice of restaurants near the beach. Several super markets and gift shops. Didn't really venture too far. It does look a big place and I'm sure there's a lot we didn't see. But we enjoyed our day out and that's the main thing. Nice to feel sand between your toes and to have a paddle.
Fantastic experience: Charming rustic beach. Sand is lovely and the area has some great bars and restaurants. We didn’t use the expensive sun loungers so beware. But the place has a lovely relaxed and casual feel about it. Loved the foot fountains to wash off the sand. When the sea is calm you won’t have to snorkel far to see the fish and quite a few different types.
Fantastic experience: Very good beach to go with children. Restaurants, supermarkets, and a parking lot that always has space (it's appreciated that some beach is easy). If that day the water is crystal blue, it is a wonderful place to swim and see fish.
Negative experience: Beach suffers from a lot of seaweed washed up and the smell of rotting vegetation is nasty. Shame because its a really good, family friendly beach.
Fantastic experience: Is there a possibility to reserve sunbeds? if yes how can I do it?
Fantastic experience: Spending a week in the area. Lots of restaurants, lovely views, bus service to Mahon.
Negative experience: Too many tourists in a very tiny beach, despite the high number of restaurants and Hotels
Negative experience: Very small, smells of seaweed, lovely sandy beach but covered in seaweed. Not to my taste
Fantastic experience: Nice beach, with plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. Just a little too much seaweeds near on shore, the water doesn't look so nice blue loke it could, but further from the shore, there are areas, whit beautiful blue waters and white sand.
Positive experience: Visited on the tourist train. Not too impressed with the beach lots of seaweed and muddy water.
Fantastic experience: Small but lovely beaches with a few shops and restaurants at the front.
Fantastic experience: Punta Prima Menorca is a lovely place to visit, lovely beach & variety of shops and restaurants along the front.
Fantastic experience: Sensational beach on the east border of Menorca under the eye of the ancient lighthouse. Crystal clear water, hyper fine sand and very gradual deepening make this corner a great option for all the family. There are not shade zones, an umbrella is highly advised.
Negative experience: Avoid! Strong sewage smell and the water is dirty - it's clearly near or on a sewage outlet. Not my idea of a nice beach.
Negative experience: Disappointing beach: lots of seaweed, smelly, jellyfish and very little space to put your towel due to many sunbeds. Wouldn't recommend for kids.
Fantastic experience: Lovely little escape town for all ages. Some great restaurants and very reasonable.
Fantastic experience: A small, clean and quiet beach. Perfect for families with kids.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach, gets busy but not too crowded. Toilet facilities and restaurants right next to beach.
Positive experience: Nice Sandy beach, quite small. Lots of seaweed at different times of the day
Positive experience: Quiet beach with super clear water and white sand. Good for families and friends.
