Half way along the south coast of Menorca you will find a beach and water sports haven with over 3 miles of uninterrupted golden sand, known as Son Bou Beach, Menorca, upon which the resort of San Jaime stands. A Son Bou holiday home places you on the largest beach in the whole of Menorca, with great views all down its course, due to the fact there are no large hotels, just low lying, traditional villas in Son Bou, hidden among the pines and dunes.
