Sant Adeodat beach
No two without three
If you have read the posts about the beaches of St. Thomas, you will have seen the similarities between the two. Well, Sant Adeodat does not escape much of the same pattern: a beach designed by and for tourists, with a multitude of services around and where unconditional love is professed to the umbrella and swimsuit.
As in the previous beaches, Sant Adeodat is a large sandy area open to the S-SW in which the eagerness to urbanize its surroundings has destroyed part of its wild beauty. Although it is true that in Adeodat these constructions are more like luxury homes, despite their size, they are not as invasive, nor do they affect the landscape as much as the large buildings found on the previous beaches.
Between Santo Tomás and Sant Adeodat, we only find the separation offered by Punta Negra; and this last beach and that of Binigaus are delimited by the presence of the Escull de Binicodrell between them.
Sant Adeodat attracts more national tourism than Santo Tomás and it is not surprising because its location is halfway between civilization and the wild nature that we like so much in Menorca. From Sant Adeodat it is easier to decide if we want to let ourselves be dragged by the world of “turisteo” (which is also very good) or if we prefer to get away from the noise and enjoy more traditional landscapes such as those offered by the beaches of Binigaus.

Sant Adeodat beach in Menorca, how to get there?
Coming from Mahón by car, we will have to take the Me-1 towards Ciutadella. When possible, we will join the Me-16 until the traffic circle where we can continue on the Me-18.
Driving along it we will reach a traffic circle in front of the sea and we will have to continue on the left towards Santo Tomás where we will find the parking lot of the Restaurant Es Bruc which, although it is private, allows free use.

DON TOMÁS RESTAURANT
This restaurant offers a menu with which to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine and, in particular, Balearic gastronomy. Not only does it offer delicious rice dishes and craft beers, but it also has a swimming pool, as well as an area with hammocks and umbrellas, which guests can use while enjoying spectacular views of the beach.
What to see and do near Sant Adeodat beach
From enjoying the services and amenities that reign in its vicinity, to take a short walk to visit nearby coves quieter and less crowded, Sant Adeodat offers you the possibility to do it all, without the need to travel impossible roads or make eternal journeys. Binigaus, without going any further, is only a 10 minute walk from the beach.
Of course, if the long walks do not bother us there is also that option, because the Camí de Cavalls passes near Sant Adeodat (what a surprise, right?). Stage 14 of the route goes from Cala Galdana to Santo Tomás (from where we can start), but it should be taken into account that it is almost 11 km long and about 4 hours walking.
If we prefer something simpler, but visiting Binigaus alone is not enough, we can take a short excursion to the Cova des Coloms through the Binigaus ravine. This route, more modest than the previous one, is done in about 2 hours walking about 2.2 km.
If after such a long walk we feel like celebrating, we can take the opportunity to dine in some of the restaurants in the area. Without going any further, the restaurant Es Bruc is located at the foot of the beach of Sant Adeodat (if you remember, we left the car in its parking lot) and offers a wide and varied menu of tapas, portions and typical dishes, which we can enjoy with spectacular views of the sea.
How to get to Sant Adeodat beach by boat?
To get to Playa de Sant Adeodat by boat, we must leave the port of Mahón heading SE. We will sail along the coast, leaving Illa del Rei to port.
We will continue out to the open sea, leaving the Punta de Sant Carles lighthouse to starboard.
Following the coastline in a southerly direction we will pass the outcrops of Na Girada and Punta Rafalet. We will continue skirting the island, which will take us in a SW direction and leave Punta Prima and Punta dels Marbres to starboard. At this point we will have the Illa de l’Aire on our port side.
Following the coastline, we will orient ourselves in a NW direction and ascend passing Cape Binibeca, Cap d’en Font, Cap de ses Penyes… We will see the Illot de Binicodrell from the bow and, before reaching it, we will find the beach of Sant Adeodat to starboard.
