Santo Tomas has some play areas for younger children. Mini Golf. Older mid-teens, older teenagers who are not into Outdoor or Water sports might be bored.
The pristine waters of Menorca are a real holiday memory. They are amazingly clear so even with just a simple snorkel you will see lots, not murky haze. And because the water is in such good condition you'll see lots of fish too. Many, many of the resort beaches have shallow sandy bottoms fringed with rocks, ideal for young snorkellers. Organised trips can make a great family day out with as a Snorkel Safari or stop off as part of a Boat excusrions. There are also marine reserves around Menorca where the marine life is even more abundent.
With few currents, warm crystal clear waters, many underwater caves and coral-clad rock formations, Menorca is recognised as one of the most enjoyable dive sites in the western Mediterranean.
Comme la majeure partie de Minorque, cette région est plus naturelle ; ne vous attendez donc pas à beaucoup de pistes cyclables. Privilégiez les pistes cyclables et les itinéraires balisés, car les petites routes qui constituent la majeure partie du réseau routier national comportent de nombreux virages sans visibilité.

Es Mercadal is a small town in the centre of the island, with rustic whitewashed houses lining pretty narrow streets. Lying at the base to Monte Toro, Menorca's highest 'mountain' (357 m). On top there are viewing areas and a small pleasant cafeteria with small outside terrace. From up here there are excellent views of the whole island - upto the bay at Fornells ,the northern coast and the rolling hills of the island's centre.
