Última actualización: 19/08/2024

Tomás is a beach (and also a summer resort) on the south coast of Menorca.
Santo Tomás is 530 meters long, has turquoise blue waters and fine white sand (composed of organic carbonate in more than 85%).
It is one of the 5 beaches of Menorca with more than 10,000 m2 of surface area. Santo Tomás is a very popular beach for any type of public: for families, couples and groups of friends.
You can play paddle on the sand; the water does not cover too fast for the little ones and there is space to find a corner (although in July and August it is difficult).

How to Get There

By car, motorcycle or bicycle

To arrive to Santo Tomas you have to take the general road of Menorca Me-1 in direction to Es Migjorn Gran.
From Es Migjorn Gran you have to follow the signs to Santo Tomas and drive along a beautiful road for 3.5 km.

When you reach the Santo Tomas traffic circle, you have a parking lot on the right and another on the left.
You can also drive through the whole urbanization and park at the end of it all, next to the exit of the Camí de Cavalls that leads to the beaches of Talis and Son Bou.

By Bus

Santo Tomás is another of the beaches of Menorca that can be reached by bus (and there are more and more of them!).

You can take bus 71 from Maó or bus 72 from Ciutadella.

Once There

Santo Tomás is an extremely popular beach.
During the summer season it is a very popular place for both local and foreign tourists.

Snorkel in crystal clear waters

The water in Santo Tomás is very clear when there is no wind from the south and there is little swell.

I recommend that you put on your goggles and take a walk around because sometimes you can see stingrays or Xoriguer fish.

Eat in a Chiringuito with Sea View

At the end of Santo Tomás you have the chiringuito Es Pins, one of my favorites in Menorca.
Here you can relax eating with magnificent views on the seafront.

Walk to Binigaus or Talis through the Camí de Cavalls

Santo Tomás is one of my favorite starting points for easy hikes along the Camí de Cavalls.

You can walk along the beach to Binigaus, a very pleasant walk from end to end makes more than 2km.
You can walk along the Camí de Cavalls to the beaches of Talis and Son Bou.
It is an easy excursion of 15 or 20 minutes, suitable for all ages.
