Punta Prima is an urban beach on the south coast of the island. If you are looking for multiple services and accommodations, do not hesitate to visit the urbanization.
The beach of Punta Prima is one of the most popular beaches near Sant Lluís. It's an urban beach with many hotels and apartments. However, it is beautiful and clean, with very transparent turquoise water.

We recommend going early in the morning if you are in high season. Punta Prima tends to fill up quickly as it is an easy-to-go beach.
Another good thing about this beach is that it has an island called Isla del Aire, it's the second biggest island in Menorca. We recommend renting a kayak on the beach and crossing there. You have to take care because probably there's a lot of maritime traffic.
The island is rocky, and without much vegetation, you will enjoy the extraordinary landscape of Punta Prima Beach at the bottom, with beautiful turquoise seawater.
In addition, you can see an indigenous animal on Illa de l'Aire, which is unique in the world, a black lizard, also known as Sarganta Negre in Menorca.
