Es grau, Golden sand beach in Menorca, Spain.
Es Grau is a golden sand beach on Menorca's Mediterranean coast that stretches about 590 meters along the shoreline. The water is sheltered by the nearby Isla d'en Colon, creating a shallow and calm bay suitable for swimming.
The beach gained protection when it was integrated into the S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, securing its status as a preserved natural area. This designation ensures the protection of its environmental qualities for the future.
The beach brings together locals and visitors seeking connection with the sea and natural surroundings. Fishermen who work from the adjacent village help keep traditional maritime practices alive in this corner of the coast.
The bay offers shallow water that works well for families with children and beginners in water activities. You can rent sun umbrellas, loungers, and water sports equipment on site, with parking and restroom facilities located near the beach.
The small Isla d'en Colon offshore is not just a natural barrier but also hosts its own vegetation and seabirds. This tiny island plays a crucial role in keeping the bay calm and gives it a character that sets it apart from other Mediterranean beaches.
