  When I first arrived in Son Parc, I thought I was missing out on many beautiful places scattered across the rest of Menorca. I presumed there were hidden beaches that were waiting to be discovered. True, there were. However, my favorite spot continued to be in Son Parc. Nestled beneath a cliff, there resides a locale that few people know and where even fewer boats venture.
