Menorca rewards exploration more than beach-hopping, though it has plenty of fine beaches. The island's prehistoric past is visible everywhere: Talayotic stone monuments, navetes (ancient burial chambers), and taulas (T-shaped megaliths) dot the countryside and can be visited along rural paths. Fort Marlborough, a British-era fortification near Es Castell, is well preserved and worth a visit for its underground galleries.
Walkers and cyclists have excellent options. The Camí de Cavalls, a historic coastal path circling the entire island, can be done in sections or as a multi-day route. The trail to the Castell de Santa Àgueda starts near Ferreries: follow the Ciutadella–Maó road to the Ets Alocs turn-off, park at the Santa Cecília farmstead, and take the old Roman footpath up to the ruined Moorish fort. The hour-long climb rewards with panoramic views across the island.
