arenal d'en castell minorca


The resort of Arenal d'en Castell lies on the North coast of Minorca, approx 25 km and 30 minutes transfer time from the island's airport at Mahon.

The bay at Arenal d'en Castell is a near perfect horse shoe, it's warm shallow waters make this resort very popular with families with young children. But as with all beaches, do watch out for the safety flags, green means safe, yellow warns you to be careful and red you mustn’t swim at all. The beach is without doubt a major attraction to this resort with fine, clean sand and a good variety of water sports and other facilities available to suit all tastes.

The cliffs that surround the bay are very picturesque and afford those with accommodation at the back of the resort spectacular views. However, for those less mobile, or families with very young children, please bear in mind that the walk to the beach is considerably easier than the return trip at the end of the day!

There are a number of small supermarkets and other tourist type shops dotted around the resort, the "biggest" being at the Coves Noves centre a few minutes walk from the beach.

As with most resorts in Menorca, evening entertainment is mainly hotel based, however, the resort does have a small number of lively bars.

Now something that is never mentioned in the holiday brochures. At the start and end of the summer months Menorca, especially the North coast, does get very windy. If any further proof of this was needed look at the way the trees bend to the South. This may also explain why Menorca is effectively closed to tourists during the winter months.

In conclusion, I believe that Arenal d'en Castell is a good mainstream beach resort which is especially popular with families.
