Punta Prima

Punta Prima features a 390-foot (120-meter) stretch of white sand bordered by clear shallow waters, making it particularly suitable for families with young children seeking safe swimming conditions along Menorca's southeastern coast.

The area developed into one of Menorca's earliest tourist resorts during the 1980s, responding to the growing demand for package holidays with its sheltered bay, calm waters, and fine sand attracting visitors to the island's hospitality industry.

The nearby village of Sant Lluís, founded by the French in the 18th century, retains traditional shops and bakeries offering local sweet specialties, reflecting the blend of Menorcan traditions and French cultural influences throughout the region.

The beach is accessible via a 25-minute bus ride from Mahón costing approximately $1.90 (€1.75) or a 20-minute drive from the international airport, with parking facilities, restrooms, showers, and sun lounger rentals available during peak season.

From the shoreline, visitors can view the lighthouse on Illa de l'Aire island, which has served as a navigational beacon since the 19th century, while the surrounding waters feature Posidonia seagrass beds ideal for snorkeling and observing marine life.
