The beach of Arenal d'en Castell forms a circular bay protected from wind and sea currents by the cliffs of Punta Grossa. The shoreline of fine sand is more than 600 metres long and shapes the first impression of this coastal resort.

Coast and beach

At the beach, there are parasol and sun lounger rentals, water sports equipment hire, toilets, foot showers and a cleaning service. For activities on the water, a sports area marked off with buoys has been set up for kayaking and paddle surfing. There is also a diving centre. A lifeguard service and restaurants are located on or around the beach.

The clear, shallow water is suitable for a peaceful day of swimming with children. Thus, along the same stretch of coast, relaxing hours by the water coexist with various maritime activities, without having to describe different beach areas for this purpose.

Nature

Punta Redona–Arenal d’en Castell is designated as a ZEC, meaning a Special Area of Conservation. The designation was made by a government agreement dated 2 August 2021.

Between the urbanised areas of Arenal d'en Castell and Son Saura lies the natural area classified as ANEI Me-5. It contains a good representation of endemic plants from the northern coast. Platja de Son Saura is also connected to a dune system and a wetland with well-developed vegetation.

Hiking and paths

The Arenal d'en Castell–Cala Tirant section of the Camí de Cavalls begins at Arenal d'en Castell beach and runs along the coast to Son Parc. Along its route, it passes through the wooded area of s'Albufera des Comte and includes the remains of the early Christian basilica of Cap des Port de Fornells.

A 13.5-kilometre coastal hike along the northern coast of Menorca eventually leads to Arenal d'en Castell. This means that, within the coastal landscape, a distinctive beach, wooded sections of path, protected landscapes and an archaeological testament come together at this location.
