Many years ago I had a holiday in Santo Tomas, on the south coast of Menorca. At the western end of Santo Tomas was a beach called Binigaus, which is clothing-optional. Unfortunately, I was at the eastern end of the resort! So I decided to hire a bicycle for the week and cycled to Binigaus every day after that. Apart from one day when I walked eastwards to the neighbouring resort of Son Bou, a more developed resort with a well-used naturist section of beach certainly at the western end, and possibly at the eastern end as well.

Here (allegedly) is a list of all the naturist beaches of Menorca. It is taken from http://www.lugaresnaturistas.org/pmenorca.htm)

This was followed up by a note from Terry.

We went there three or four years ago, there are many small and often difficult to reach coves with what I would call naturist possibilities but the biggest and best beach is Son Bou......you won't need anything else. Easy to find, just look on a map because Son Bou is well built up nowadays. Fortunately the development is separated from the beach by a large conservation area, also fortunately the building is also good quality fincas, either lived in or for rent.

It can be accessed at either end but the main car park is close to the two large hotels that are un-missable. From that car park go onto the beach and turn right. After a short walk those who prefer clothes tend to thin out, there was usually a small gap then hordes of nuddies. Pass some rocks and the nuddies thin out too, but you still have about a kilometre of nuddy beach to go where most will be nude until you near the access at the other end.
