Menorca, Spain is the ideal vacation destination for tourists seeking a genuine Spanish holiday. The Island is fairly quiet and has a relaxed atmosphere even during peak holiday season. Menorca offers miles of sandy beaches. The beaches of Menorca tend to be quieter and less crowded than the beaches of the nearby Islands of Mallorca and Ibiza. The best beaches that Menorca has to offer are found on the eastern coast of the South shore.

The southern shore of the island features a number of popular resorts. Whereas the rocky northern shore is dotted with sleepy fishing villages for those of us who want to enjoy the culture of the island on a first hand basis.
