Son Bou
Menorca's longest beach (about 2.5 km), with golden fine sand and dune wetlands, and the ruins of an early Christian church at one end.
The wide beach has full facilities and is good for families and long walks, and parts of it are a protected natural dune reserve. At the eastern end, the 5th-century early Christian cathedral ruins survive only as foundations. Prehistoric caves are carved into the cliffs by the sea. Buses run from Mahón and Alaior. When it's windy the waves can be high, so watch for the warning flags.
