Arenal d’en Castell Beach<\/strong><\/h1>\r\n

Arenal d’en Castell<\/strong> is one of the largest and most spectacular beaches in Menorca, but also one of the most urbanised, very touristy and with all kinds of services right on the beach.<\/h2>\r\n

Arenal d’en Castell<\/strong> is a shell-shaped beach over half a kilometre long and 20 metres wide, with very calm and shallow waters. Except on days with northerly winds, it feels like a huge natural swimming pool, ideal for spending a beach day with children. Like Cala Galdana<\/strong><\/a> on the south coast, Arenal d’en Castell<\/strong> is surrounded by a large hotel and numerous apartment complexes, making it a beach largely dominated by foreign tourism. Both on the beach and in the surrounding urban area, you will find all the typical services of sun-and-beach tourist resorts. There is no shortage of sun umbrellas and loungers occupying a large part of the beach, and in the resort you will find hotels, apartments, restaurants and all kinds of services such as pharmacies, car hire, a diving centre, kayak rental, shops, a water park, bars, etc.<\/p>\r\n
