Binimel-là Cove
A very complete beach
Binimel-là is probably one of the most complete beaches on the north coast of Menorca.
Its easy access and services make it a very comfortable place to spend a pleasant day. The characteristics of the terrain make it a quiet place ideal for plans for almost everyone. And the flora and fauna that predominates in the area (where there are abundant remains of posidonia among which we can find ducks swimming in the lagoon or even some of the famous Mediterranean turtles that occupy the place) offer a picturesque landscape difficult to forget.
Sandy beaches predominate throughout the area and, if it were not for the fact that its terrain is quite rocky in its central part, and because you have to walk about 400 meters to reach it, it would be an ideal place to enjoy with the little ones (the only public with which, perhaps, other options would have to be considered).
Binimel-là is a totally virgin cove in which, except for some isolated buildings at its eastern end, there are no constructions that spoil the landscape.

How to get to Binimel-là beach by boat?
To access Binimel-La by boat, we must leave with our boat from the port of Mahón heading SE leaving the dock to starboard. We will continue through the port until we reach the open sea (up to Punta de Sant Carles).
At this point, we will leave the San Carlos lighthouse to starboard, and continue to port along the coast (heading NE). We will pass La Mola and Punta de S’Espero, to advance in a NW direction (always sailing with the coast to port).
We will pass Cap Negre, Punta de Sa Galera and, finally, Punta de sa Cudia. On the port side we will see an inlet that leads to Es Grau and in front we will have Illa d’en Colom. We will have to leave it to port and continue in a NW direction until we pass the Cap de Mossen Vives and the Escull den Tortuga. From the bow we will see the Cap de Favàritx and its unmistakable lighthouse.
Skirting the Favàritx point, we will sail in a NW direction until we see the Addaia islands. We will pass them leaving them to port and continue until we reach Punta Pantinat.
We will go around it and sail in a NW direction (leaving Punta de na Guillemassa and Punta des Morter behind) until we reach Cap de Cavallería. We will border it passing between Illa d’els Porros (which will be on the starboard side) and Illot des Pas (which will be on the port side).
Once we have crossed the channel between the two, we will descend in a SW direction, leaving Punta de Sa Torre, Cap d’es Vernís on our port side. Platja des Ferragut and Punta d’en Valent. We will make the approach to the cove being positioned with Cala Pregonda by the bow.
We will pass between the Esculls de Pregonta and the Escull de Sa Nau and, on the port side, heading SE we will see the Binimel-Là beach.
