Minorca Travel – Punta Prima and S’Algar

The two most popular coastal resorts in the south-east of Minorca in the Balearic Islands of Spain, S’Algar and Punta Prima were also amongst the earliest resorts to be developed on the island. S’Algar in particular was one of the pioneers in Minorca travel accommodation and luckily was not spoilt by what was kept low-rise and low key, with mostly detached villa style properties and plenty of green areas. Punta Prima has a better beach than S’Algar and is thus more suitable for family holidays, unfortunately though, it does suffer from dangerous sea currents, so warnings must be heeded when swimming. Numerous ships have foundered off this coast over the centuries making it good scuba diving territory, windsurfers are also attracted to this area which offers great conditions for their sport.
