Binigaus beach<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Binigaus is the largest unspoilt beach on the south coast of Menorca, with no services and within walking distance of the nearest car park. For this reason, it is also the most popular beach in the municipality of Es Migjorn Gran.<\/h2>\n

Binigaus Beach<\/strong> is located where the flat central south coast of Menorca ends and the western cliffs begin. In the past, this allowed us to choose between settling in the widest and lowest central area of the beach or in the narrower, quieter coves at the far end, right at the foot of the cliffs. Recently, however, the cliffs have suffered significant rockfalls and today, even if it is possible to pass, this area is dangerous.<\/p>\n

The waters are clear and shallow, making it ideal for families with children. In addition, the access path is short and flat. A perfect Menorca beach to enjoy a family day out<\/a> in the middle of nature. A true luxury.<\/p>\n

The natural dynamics of the sand on this beach, as well as on the neighbouring beaches of Sant Tom\u00e0s and Sant Adeodat, mean that there is more or less sand depending on the year. In some years, much of the beach can even be covered with pebbles.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/span> Recently, it has become very fashionable to take mud baths using the clays from the cliffs of Binigaus Beach. Taking mud baths on beaches erodes the base of the cliffs,<\/strong> creating instability in their upper sections, causing rockfalls and posing a risk to beach users. This activity also uproots vegetation and causes the shoreline to retreat, destroying a non-renewable resource, since clays are very ancient rocks. Try to make your visit to Menorca\u2019s natural areas go unnoticed. Leave no trace!<\/strong><\/p>\n
