Última actualización: 15/12/2019

The beach of Arenal de Son Saura (also known as Arenal de S’Olla de Son Saura, Arenal de s’Olla, Son Saura del Norte, or Son Parc beach) is an urban beach in the north of Menorca located very close to the urbanization of Son Parc,and very close to Es Mercadal and Alaior.

In the right area of the beach there are some apartments and in the left area of the beach there is a bar-restaurant. As it is easy to reach this beach by car, during the summer season it is very frequented by both tourists and locals.

What stands out about this beach is the amount of services (urbanizations, restaurants, hotels, sunbeds, etc.) and the shallow water near the shore. This makes Arenal de Son Saura an ideal beach for families with children and for people who are simply looking for a beautiful environment but also comfortable and with good services.

Especially if you go to Son Parc make sure it’s not blowing north wind (tramuntana), because the Arenal de Son Saura is fully exposed to the north and the swell would be considerable. In addition the wind raises a lot of sand and makes things as simple as reading or eating potatoes uncomfortable activities.
