Son Saura, Natural beach and park in Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain
Son Saura is a natural beach and park with two separate sandy coves and a sheltered bay along the southern coast. Pine forests and Mediterranean plants line the shore, while clear turquoise water fills the coves.
The area was once used by fishermen and locals as a refuge before being developed as a protected natural site in recent times. The coastline remains part of Menorca's protected landscapes designated under UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status.
Locals use this spot to spend time with family and enjoy the coast throughout the year. You will see people picnicking under the pine trees and swimming in the sheltered waters, which are part of everyday island life.
The best access is through a parking area located a short walk from the beaches. Since facilities are minimal, bring everything you need, especially water and sun protection.
The two coves have different characters: one is windier and more exposed, while the other is calmer and more sheltered. This variety lets visitors choose the spot that suits their mood and the day's conditions.
