Jul 15, 2026"One of the best beaches (coves) in the north of the island"
Jul 15, 2026"This beach has super gross filthy green water. We came twice in July and it was the same each time. Just horrible. I have no idea how this beach has 4,5 rating, but this is 2,5 at best. Don’t waste your time there and walk to the Platja des Bot. Also i think every beach on Menorca that has 4,5 rating is bad with super filthy water. You need to go to 4,6 beaches and above."
