Boat Rides Along the Northern Coast of Menorca

Context Menorca’s northern coast is renowned for its red-sand beaches and secluded coves, many of which are unreachable by land and protected within a natural maritime environment. Boat tours explore this region, including spots like Cala Pregonda and the Isla de Colom, where the clear waters invite swimming. Navigation takes place on vessels accommodating up to 31 passengers, with speed restrictions to preserve the fragile ecosystem.

The Experience During the ride, you’ll relax at the pace of the sea and ocean breeze, with stops for swimming and snorkeling in less-crowded coves. The sound of waves and the scent of pine accompany views of unique rock formations and red-sand beaches. Some excursions include a tasting of local products onboard, adding a cultural touch to the journey.

For Whom This activity is ideal for those seeking a peaceful, nature-immersed maritime experience, suitable for families, groups, and travelers with low physical demands. It is not recommended for individuals with very limited mobility without assistance, or for those prone to severe motion sickness or seeking intense physical activity.

Local Context The area features historical sites such as the Isla del Rey and the Fortaleza de la Mola, reflecting Menorca’s maritime heritage. The local community maintains traditions tied to the sea, and onboard meals often feature island-produced ingredients, blending culture and nature into a seamless experience.
