Beach overall scores
Son Bou Beach (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Son Bou settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Menorca and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Son Bou Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is an excellent choice for families! The sand is wonderfully soft and inviting, perfect for little feet. To ensure you get a great spot, try to arrive early so you can snag a good parking spot. Plus, you can enjoy free WIFI while you relax. The shallow waters make it an ideal spot for kids to play safely. Highly recommended!"

"This spot may seem glorious, but the sand is far from soft and the dunes are anything but natural. The lake is more like a pond, and the ducks are more of a nuisance than anything else. The restaurants are mediocre at best, and the inflatable park is a joke."
