Turquoise sea in Punta Prima

The beach measures aproximately 200 meters long and 40 meters width, with a white and fine sand, very similar that all the other south Menorca beaches. We recommend to go early if we go in mid summer, cause used to be busy, in order to can take a place.

Clean sea in Isla del Aire, in front of Punta Prima

Another good thing of this beach, is just in front an island called Isla del Aire, it's the second biggest island in Menorca. We recommend to rent a kayak in the beach and cross there. We have to take care, cause probably there's lot of maritime traffic.

Once there, rocky and without much vegetation, we will have a awesome landscape of Punta Prima Beach at the bottom, with a beautiful turquoise sea water. From there, we will also able to see an indigenous animal, which is unique in the world, a black lizard, or in Menorca known as Sarganta negre.
