It has been realized an exhaustive list of the coastal dune fields, because these geomorphological features are quite abundant in the Island and because the high degree of legal protection of this features in Menorcan coasts. The island is divided in two main structural and physiographic regions (Tramuntana and Migjorn) and the materials that form each one and their coasts are quite different. The coastal classifications and data calculated are also presented for each region. Results are compiled as tables and figures in order to be an easy tool for coastal managements and the broad audience.
