“The Posidonia: The Secret Behind Menorca’s Crystal-Clear Waters and White Sands

Menorca, a paradise of crystal-clear waters and golden sands, holds a secret beneath the surface: Posidonia oceanica. This marine plant, considered a true natural treasure, is responsible for the incomparable beauty of our beaches.

A natural filter creating crystal-clear waters. Posidonia acts as a natural filter, trapping sediments and suspended particles. This allows Menorca’s waters to be so clear, providing exceptional visibility in its seabeds.

White and fine sand thanks to Posidonia. Posidonia is also responsible for the formation of Menorca’s white sandy beaches. The leaves and stems of the plant decompose and accumulate on the shore, creating fine, soft sand that characterizes our beaches.

An oasis of life oxygenating the planet. Posidonia creates a unique ecosystem, home to a wide variety of marine species. Moreover, it produces oxygen at a rate comparable to the Amazon, making it a vital lung for the planet.
