Binigaus, a large and blue beach

Binigaus is a fantastic nudist beach in Menorca.

Binigaus Beach is the largest natural beach on the island, almost 900 meters long. Undoubtedly, the best cala of Es Migjorn Gran.

You will be able to choose between going to the middle, which tends to have more sand, or to the extremes. These are a bit rockier, although you will be more lonely. The width used to be less than 5 meters across all Binigaus.

It doesn't have any service, nor lifeguard. Depending on the part, there is no mobile coverage, so you should be ready for a great summer day. Go early in the morning to put your towel in the best corners of the shore. That situation only happens in July and August.

Binigaus Beach is incredible.

It's a perfect beach for children in Menorca and couples and adults, as it has not much deep on the coast. The sea is entirely fabulous, and turquoise waters will leave us freaked out. However, it has some small rocks and stones, so you must be careful if you are on the extremes of the beach.

This cove is one of the nudist beaches in Menorca. You can take off your swimsuit without any problem and practice nudism. It doesn't matter if you do it or not.

Small hills that go until the sea surrounds the beach. You will be covered by intense north winds , persistent some days.

However, Binigaus used to have big waves if it blows south winds as the shore is very open to South and West breezes.

Beach is inside a protected area.

This protected area starts in Cala Mitjana and goes toward the East (Binigaus).

It's called ANEI (Special Interest Area) cause of the high environmental value. You will find some posters that prevent going to some zones.
