About Son Xoriguer
Son Xoriguer is a sheltered beach dive bay in Menorca with easy shore access, a shallow sandy bottom, and seagrass patches over a calm cove. It suits beginners and night divers because the entry is simple and the underwater terrain stays relaxed rather than dramatic. Shared beach use, tourist services, and water-sport activity make it feel lively, especially in warmer months. Expect clear water, rays, and plenty of small Mediterranean life around the sand and Neptune grass.
