Arenal d'en Castell

Arenal d'en Castell features a wide sandy beach approximately 2,130 feet (650 meters) long with calm, shallow waters and facilities including loungers, parasols, and showers for visitors.

Originally a modest fishing community dating back several centuries, Arenal d'en Castell gradually transformed into a holiday destination, with development accelerating in recent decades to accommodate growing tourism.

The community celebrates the feast day of Sant Llorenç in August with processions, music, and local cuisine, while restaurants serve traditional Menorcan seafood dishes and regional specialties throughout the year.

The resort is located about 14 miles (22 kilometers) from Menorca's airport, with bus service connecting to other island areas from May to October and lifeguard services provided during peak season.

Arenal d'en Castell serves as a starting and finishing point for two sections of the GR 223 trail, also called the Camí de Cavalls, a historic route that circles Menorca for hiking and biking.
