Beach Bears

After lunch it was time to explore beyond that tempting pool. We didn't have to go far to find the sea. A few steps beyond the far side of the pool, was a fine piece of boardwalk leading us to the beach. Can you see us?


There was no-one else on the beach which was not the fault of the beach as it was a beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear blue/green sea. It was (as was confirmed throughout the week) because we were some of the very few holiday makers on the island. As we had it all to ourselves, it felt like we were on beautiful desert island. It was just lacking the palm trees and coconuts.

The boardwalk was to preserve the sand dunes which are very precious to the Menorcans. As you can see from our looking backwards shot, showing Hamilton Court apartments, our Menorcan home for the week, we really had picked a great spot.


Mind you, lovely though the apartments and the beach were, there was far too much exploring to do for us to for us to stay there for long. We spotted a path at the end of the beach leading up some cliffs, and off we went.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

Buenos dias Boys! That beach looks lovely - must have been nice to feel the sand beneath your paws! Did the board walk remind you of Holkham? A bit of a home from home!
