Blue flagged, patrolled by lifeguards, and generally believed to be a great option for families with young children.

Upon our visit there was a lot of seaweed in the shallows, but once you swam out past the first metre of so the waters because a lovely clear type blue.

Temp wise the water was erm fresh (cold) at first touch, but you soon Adjust.

Back on the beach the sands are clean and safe. Very little by the way of rubbish or even ciggy buts were found away from the designated bin areas.

There are free toilet and changing facilities, although a limited number, and subbed rental is also available. Prices seemed steep to me, but I’ll let you be the judge.

All in all Punta Prima’s beach was a massive selling point for us, and proved to live up to the reputation of being excellent for young families.

A 2 min walk from the beach will lead you directly to 3 or 4 restaurants, all advertising locally caught fresh fish among other more catered items (omelettes for the less adventurous Brits). We didn’t try all of the eating establishments admittedly, but of the best we tried, we paid 45 euro for a MASSIVE Paella.

Two small supermarkets adjacent to the teach. A Dr’s 5 mins walk from the beach.

If you’re self catering and want more choice food wise, there is a Lidl closer to Mahon.

Not sure what else you need really.

Aside from the beach and pool, walking, water sports and tours, and day trips to the Mahon or Binibeca are where it’s at.

Waking wise, there is a path which stretches all the way around Menorca, going by the name of Cami de Cavalls.

Water sports wise there is stand up paddle boarding and sea kayaking. Is the winds pick up Punta Prima can also offer do surfing (although I didn’t see a rental shop of lessons advertised.

Boat tours are also incredibly popular, and can be arranged to include fishing for your super.

Another water ‘sport’ (but I’d a stretch this one) swimming and riding the tubes down the road at Splash World.

If you’d rather stick to dry land, a visit to Binbecca is a nice way to spent an afternoon. Grab the tourist ‘ting ting’ train from the beach, and in 15-30 mins you’ll arrived at the white washed architectural marvel that is Binibecca.

If you fancy going further afield, the capital Mahon is a mere 20 mins by public bus. In Mahon you can shop, take a tour of the gun distillery, take a cruise around the harbour or simply people watch.

So one of the nice things about Punta Prima is the transfer time from the airport, 20-30 mins by bus, or probably 10-15 mins if you have your own car.Despite being so close, I do not believe Punta Prima is on a flight path, and so there was no airport type noise pollution.

It’s a small place as I’ve already mentioned, but it’s fairly well connected to the rest of the South/East of the island.
