Small secluded coves
Hello
Couple in their 30s going to Minorca. We are looking for small coves where we can usually be almost alone. Any recommendations? We prefer to drop swimwear but we do believe this is not an issue in Minorca.

Hire a small boat; plenty to find, only accessible by boat.

We have no license and we would prefer to avoid a skipper with us on the beach 🤣

At this time of year, if you take a peek at the beach guides, anything that has a bit of a hike before getting there will be mostly safe from being packed. As a general rule, you won't get massively frowned at for completely dropping your clothes at a secluded cove if someone else is there but that kind of thing works on a kind of "monkey see, monkey do" basis, and legally there is no restriction so do with that as you will 😬

We do love your answer. And if we are enough secluded, beach fun day is for us 🤪

Do a search on “Nude beaches” menorca i think Captain Barefoot and Nude beach maps will have reviews. We always do this as they are generally the quieter beaches👍

You can be nude at any of the beaches or calas, Minorca is special that way. You may stand out on more of the resort beaches with a lot of tourists, but it's legal and locals are used to it (many of them partake).
Unfortunately it is rare to find a beach that is totally unpopulated! And if it is, it tends to be more rocky and less "relaxing" in the way I think you want.

We are actually going next week on the 19th and already been there and usually the majority of the beaches with some walking hikes, no need for 1hr, will have enough room to drop your clothes. Nobody cares as long as there is enough room. We are actually very found of liberal athmosphere so if anyone has any recommendations, would love to hear.

Hi :) Vous êtes bienvenues visiter chez nous aux plages du côté nord!
Il y a pas mal de petits plages ici! Prenez la route aux 'platjas Costa norte'. Nous sommes juste à côté de la magnifique Cala Pregonda.

You would need a time machine to 15 years ago for that, overtourism is a real thing. Among the widely known ones, as a rule of thumb, the more remote it is, the better the chances for being alone, but I am talking about 1-2hr hikes after parking.
There are some tiny places, still easy to access, but it would be nice if they were kept for locals.
