Overview
Binibeca is a very popular quieter family oriented resort dominated by private villas and apartments. At one end is Binibequer Vell, a small apartment resort in the style of an old fishing village and which offers a wide range of bars, shops and restaurants. At the other end, where the beach is located, lies Binibequer Nou and neighbouring Cala Torret. The beach at Binibeca is a lovely family beach with gently shelving sands in a quiet cove, offering safe bathing for all the family.
While the resort is quiet ( even by menorcan standards) and perhaps more a place to chill it is close (by bus, taxi) to Punta Prima (by resort train) , Mahon and Es Castell for much more attractions, buzz and a change of scene. The area is divided up into 'discrete' areas. Binibequer Nou on the hill behind the beach is a slightly more exclusive development of privately owned villas.
Facilities
Beach
An attractive deep fine white sand beach with shaded picnic area at rear and free toiliets. Free parking at the rear at the roadside. The beach waters are protected via a headland on the horizon. Shallow shandy bottom and lined on both sides by rocks for great snorkeling. The 'famous' beach bar of Los Bucaneros even serves freshly cooked basic meals. Lifeguard. Pedalo and electric fun boats hire from beach. Sunbed and umbrella hire.
The warm shallow waters of this bay make this resort very popular with families with younger children. Though the beach is big enough if you need your space away from the little beach rats.
Commercial
Cala Torret also has a delicatessen, supermarket, launderette and car hire office.
A resort "road train" runs between Binibeca Vell, Binibeca, Cala Torret and Punta Prima with return journeys approximately 7 euros per person.

See and Do
The deep beach is a major attraction of this resort with its fine, clean sand and a good variety of water sports and other facilities available to suit all tastes. Some of Menorcas' famous under water caves at nearby Cap D'en Font make this a good base for keen divers. And for the less enthusiastic divers there is great snorkelling just off the beach. If you fancy something a little bit more wild there is a very pretty virgin cove and beach ( Cala Biniparratx ) just up the coast westwards-follow the coast road to Binidali. A small limestone gorge with cut out caves near the beach.
Menorca Tips
There are some fabuous quality restaurants in the pretty neighbouring villages of Torret and S'Ullastrar.
There are delightful narrow track lanes all around the north of Binibeca to explore - even the thwack of a cricket bat on ball at the nerby Menorca Cricket Club
Children
There are some simple play areas towards Binibeca Vell and at Binibequer Vell, though they are not shaded.
Day-time Entertainment
The beautiful beach is the cente of day time activities in Binibeca, with electric fun boats amongst others to hire from the beach. There is a local diving school with some of Menoraca's famous diving around the corner at Cap D'en Font. The sheltered bay in front of the beach provides great snorkelling. Behind the beach there is a shaded area for beachside picknicks and across the road the is a small childrens play area. There is bicycle hire close to the beach. Nearby Punta Prima (reachable via a resort "train" ) is much bigger and has many more activities on hand. For water sports fans ten minutes drive or so along the coast is S'Algar - a favourite water sports centre.
Tennis
Relatively unknown, there are a couple of free to use public courts on the hill in Binibeca Nou- up the Cami des Cap de Roig about half way up on the left hand side. Bit run down but useable. In nearby Mahon / Sant Lluis there are high quality courts to be rented.
Binibequer Vell
An attractitive and well done mock up of a ' traditional fisihing village' with small selection of (evening) Restaurants and Bars. Though it can be loud if you are staying there as voices and particularly ladies high heels fill the narrow passage ways.
Shopping
At Binibequer Vell there is a small array of souvenir shops, a mini supermarket, cash point. Cala Torret at the eastern end is a mock 'fishermans' apartments complex in a tiered pedestrian area set above the rocks. It has a small commercial centre with a handful of Bar Restaurants, a mini supermarket.
Menorca Tips
There is large Hypermarket in nearby Sant Lluis and a smaller very popular supermarket Sa Botega at S'Ullastrar, on the way to Sant Lluis.

Nightime Entertainment
As with most smaller resorts in Menorca, evening entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort' bars but nothing that would ever compare to the neon jungle of the popular resorts along the south coast of Majorca. Mahon and Ciutadella however offer something for everyone, but with none of the "binge drink clubbing" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca.
In In der Nähe von Punta Prima and Cala en Porter there are Hotels offering nightime entertainments and discos for big and small.
