The Cruising Area, Menorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. Menorca The best way to explore Menorca is by boat. The coastline is inundated by deep coves, water cut through the limestone, creating silver sand beaches fringed by pine trees and sparkling clear water. There is so much to see, so much of interest, you will fall in love, as I did many years ago, with this special island.   The Cruising Area Menorca has more than forty delightful sheltered coves in its eighty mile circumference plus the spectacular Mahón harbour (3rd largest in the world, 3.5 miles long). This combination allows a sheltered anchorage for both lunchtime and evening stops all the way round the island, plus sheltered sailing all year. The fascinating island history from bronze age settlements (coves and villages) to the 18th - 19th century occupations by the British provide a rich historical backdrop to the cruising. Add the nearby Balearic Isles of Mallorca (25 n.miles) and Ibiza, great weather and good winds and you have the perfect cruising area for beginner and experienced alike.
