The island is crisscrossed with a diverse range of walking trails to suit all kinds of ability and interest. The newly opened Camν de Cavalls, a bridle path which rings the entire island mostly along the coast is a perfect way to explore. Other paths follow the ravines and gullies which extend inland from the southern coast. Within minutes of a beach the walker can find himself in pristine woodland ringing with birdsong and carpeted with wild flowers. Menorca walking is one of the best ways to explore and get the feel of this lovely unique island with its extraordinarily wide range of landscapes and habitats.
Cycling is growing in popularity, with an extensive network of unpaved paths, paved roads and country lanes which have very little traffic. The newly opened Cami de Cavalls, a bridle path which rings the entire island follows the coast and is a perfect way for mountain bikers to explore the coastal zones.
With many untouched beaches and sheltered coves which can only be accessed from the sea, and good weather for most of the summer months, Menorca kayaking is an established sport on the island. Sea conditions are perfect most days for kayaking and canoeing, but should the wind be blowing too strongly on one side of the island, then the sheltered leeward coast is never far away by car. Activity centres specialising in kayaking are to be found in most of the towns and villages on the coast, and two, three day or even round island trips can be organised. The Bay of Fornells on the northern coast, with a wide protected inlet and shallow water is an ideal location for beginners.
Horse riding in Menorca has some of the most varied opportunities to explore the hidden and remote country and coast of the island. The newly opened Camν de Cavalls, an almost 200 km long bridle path now extends around the island on the coast but there are many other trails throughout the island on the coast and in the interior.
The pristine warm clear waters with visibility of up to 30 metres, calm seas, and a well established Marine reserve on the north coast make the island a popular destination for divers of all abilities. Menorca diving now is one of the most popular and established sports on the island with centres around the island offering courses up to dive master levels. The wide shallow inlet at the Bay of Fornells offers the perfect conditions for beginners to take courses and yet minutes from the dive centres just outside the bay are beautiful dive spots on the reefs and underwater caves of the Marine Reserve. There are also many dive spots around the island which can easily be accessed from the beach or rocky coastline.
