Platja de Binigaus, Golden sand nude beach in Es Migjorn Gran, Spain.
Platja de Binigaus is a sandy beach with golden-hued grains located on the southern coast of Menorca between two rocky points. The shoreline stretches long and narrow, sheltered by tall cliffs and pine forests that frame the entire cove.
Platja de Binigaus lies within the ANEI, the Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès that runs from Cala Galdana to Binigaus on Menorca's southern coast. The protection covers the beach at the mouth of the Binigaus ravine and the surrounding cliffs and pine woods. Access is on foot only, along the Camí de Cavalls from the neighbouring beach of Sant Adeodat.
Binigaus lies at the mouth of the barranc of the same name, and from the back of the beach a path leads up to the Cova des Coloms, a large cave used by walkers and climbers. The Camí de Cavalls, the old horse path circling Menorca, passes here and is the only way in on foot from Sant Adeodat.
Reach the beach on foot from Platja de Sant Adeodat along the Camí de Cavalls; there is no vehicle access or parking at the sand. The beach lies about four kilometres from Es Migjorn Gran, between the Puntes de Rabiosa and Rodona, near the Sant Tomàs residential area. From the mouth of the Binigaus ravine you can walk to the Cova dels Coloms.
The beach is surrounded by cliffs reaching about 130 feet (40 m) high, forming a natural U-shaped cove. Dense pine groves cover the rocky areas and act as natural windbreaks for the sheltered waters below.
