The resort of Punta Prima lies on the extreme south east tip of Minorca, approx 10 km and 30 minutes transfer time from the island's airport at Mahon. Even by Menorcan standards this resort has to be described as being quiet, and for many a little too quiet. But if all you are looking for is a beach, a couple of hotels and a shop, this may be the very place for you. Punta Prima has a large sandy beach of fine white sand that is spoilt by an ugly concrete structure that we understand is to be demolished sometime "soon". Also, the beach does get very busy at weekends with its close proximity to Mahon. The sea although very alluring, can also be quite dangerous. Caution is needed when swimming due to strong offshore currents and rocks hidden under the waves. The resort has a few basic tourist shops but little else to spend your Euro on. There is a bus service into Mahon 8 times a day during the summer, and the 20 minute trip costs just over 1 Euro each way. For the more adventurous connections are then available to the rest of the island. A mini train runs from Punta Prima to Binibeca until late in the evening and costs 7 Euro per head for the round trip, with no reductions for children.
