Are there any places to go snorkeling at Menorca in March? Could we rent a wet suit or dry suit from someone and go into the water?
what are some other high adventure activities on the island for march?
March is quite a cold month (in terms of water temperature).
The water in march is at 13.5º Celsius – 55.4º F – more or less.
You can go to any beach, specially those in the north if the sea conditions are good.
I’ve gone swimming on march, but never more than 2 minutes, and without a suit.
For other adventure activities, you can try paragliding, MTB trail for experienced bikers, Horse treck on the famous Cami de Cavalls, etc
