Punta Prima to the east of Sant Lluis is Punta Prima a large beach of fine white sand very rocky at the eastern end. It can be dangerous with strong currents when the wind blows from the right direction. I urge all parents with small children to keep an eye on them when out swimming. Situated in a small but growing resort with a good selection of bars and shops, easy parking right on the beach, sun beds water sports etc.

Cala Turqueta Just as nature made it, no facility's at all just a butifull natural white sandy beach. Sign posted from Ciutadella's southern ronda [bypass] One of Menorca's gems, this along with others is protected, very limited access and a charge for car parking. Open from 10:30 till 17-18:00 but get there early in the summer months. Signs on the way inform of the free parking spaces on this and other beaches near by. Easy access but take food drink and shelter from the sun.

Most of the beaches on Menorca are well worth a visit and I would recommend hiring a
 especially if you have children. A different beach to explore make for an exciting holiday for them and a relaxing one for you.A good tip here is "If the wind is blowing from the north visit the south coast beaches, and visit the north if the wind is from the south" 
Arenal D'en Castell On the north coast The beach is an almost perfect circular cove, with fine sand gently slopes into the water. This is a good family resort. Beach bars, restaurants and all types of water sports available.Worth a visit rating =9 
Son Parc On the north coast Son Parc has a large white sandy beach, (In my opinion one of the best on the island) It's ideal for children as it's very shallow for the first 20-30 meters. Good parking near the beach, Beach bar and water sports of all kinds.

Keep the beaches clean as you would, no doubt wish to find them thank you.
Note A small charge has in the past been made at some to take your car down. I have been informed that the land owner is charging to take a car down to Cala Mitjana. There is a nominal charge for parking at Cala Turqueta Also there is a 120 car limit on quite a few on the south coasts unspoiled beaches, including Turqueta, Es Talair and Cala Macarella. So if you intend to visit these you would be wise to get an early start. [The above can change at any time and does so quite often]
