Binimel-la Beach: A Haven of Peace in Menorca

On the island of Menorca, Binimel-la Beach, which is located in the far north, is one of the beaches that are not well visited. It is defined by its incredible calmness, dry hills, and red rocks. At the same time, it is a soul-refreshing clean place.

Location & Access

Binimel-la Beach is located on the north coast of Menorca, very close to the small town of Es Mercadal and the other northern beaches. For reaching it one has to go through Camí de Tramontana, which is a small road that leads to Cavallería and a few remote beaches like Cala Tirant.

Subsequently, you will have to continue along the dirt road for a substantial period of about 2 kilometers to the destination.

Beach Features

Binimel-la is a large sandy beach with a gold tone, which is almost surrounded by small rock cliffs and hills. Like a demanding lover, one of the things that Binimel-la is famous for is a quiet breeze, clear azure water, and chill-out surroundings - perfectly suited for having the sea in its purest form.

As there are lesser tourists around, it is not the usual thing to visit a place in both Binimel-la and the beach and it will be unspoiled, so you can attract the style of a hidden haven when inputting in it. The majority of people visiting this area and then going on to Cala Pregonda do not know that there are many small, secret coves in the area.

Menorca is not only a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; it is one of the most protected places in the Mediterranean. Among all the spaces in Menorca, there is one being the strictest—Binimel-la.
