Menorca's coastline beyond Son Bou — coves, open-sea beaches, and hidden spots worth the drive.
⛵ Many of these cove beaches are easiest to access by boat and many will be stops on your day boat trip.

A wide, unspoiled crescent of white sand on the south-west coast, backed by pine woods and dunes with no development in sight — one of the most pristine beaches on the island. Free car park (fills early in summer); toilets and a seasonal lifeguard on site. Noona Beach restaurant sits right on the sand — otherwise bring food and water.

Cala Macarella's smaller, wilder neighbour — reached only via the cliff path, so it stays quieter even in peak season.

A small gravel beach on the north coast, tucked into a rocky inlet ringed by whitewashed houses — clear, calm water that's good for snorkelling.

One of Menorca's most secluded coves, tucked between Cala Mitjana and Cala Macarella and reached only by a long forest path or by boat — reward yourself with clear, calm turquoise water and no crowds. Bring everything you need; there's nothing on site.
