Smaller and quieter than its neighbor Mallorca, Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic islands. Situated just 34 km / 21 miles from Mallorca, the island of Menorca has many family-friendly resorts and almost as many beaches as Mallorca and Ibiza combined. Peaceful holiday resorts line the south coast of Menorca and a string of quiet fishing villages are along the island's rougher northern shore.
