Parks & Nature
This is probably my favourite beach. It is considered to be a virgin beach. Located on the North of the island. It's a wonderful drive through Menorca's stunning farm land. There are several beaches by the light house. The area is a great place to explore. We tend to park in the first car park on LHS and take a short walk to the red sand beach. I noticed this August 2018 that there is a little cafe in the car park. We like to spend the afternoon and evening there. People cover themselves in the red clay as a kind of detox. The sunset is a kind of ritual and is spectacular. We have also taken our portable BBQ to one of the other nearby rocky beaches.

To access the beach you can either drive and park in the main car park or you can walk. Either way our preference is to head West on the beach away from the crowds. My ritual is to head down about 7am to do yoga, walk and swim. The scent from the wild lilies in the sand dunes is wonderful. I love the fact that there are chickens roaming freely behind the sand dunes. Once the sun has risen over the sand dunes about 7.30 the sun is warm. I stay until about 10am and leave as everyone else is arriving. I often walk back to the villa via the farm tracks through the valley and exit at the Jardin de Menorca hotel in Torre Soli Nou.
