Holidays for the family in Punta Prima – Award winning large sandy beach
The beach at Punta Prima was one of the first to be awarded the EU Blue Flag for cleanliness and quality, and the long expanse of fine white sand is backed by attractive countryside and sand dunes. Although the eastern end of the beach is a little rocky, along most of its’ length the sand gently shelves into the warm shallow waters, creating excellent conditions for swimming and snorkelling. Facilities on offer include numerous beach bars and pedalos, and there is plenty of parking behind the beach. The currents can be fairly strong on this stretch of coastline and the gentle winds make Punta Prima an ideal resort in which to try windsurfing and sailing. Its’ close proximity to Mahon makes Punta Prima very popular with local Menorcans, meaning that, although the beach can get quite busy, the resort has an authentic Spanish flavour. A small selection of shops and supermarkets offer all the basics for tourists, and Punta Prima has a good range of restaurants and quiet bars in which to spend the evenings, and one disco.
