Other marinas are located in harbours around the island, such as Maó, Addaia, Fornells, Ciutadella or Cala'n Bosch as well as in other smaller locations.

Horse-riding is available in any of the numerous racecourses and riding centres on the island, especially in Maó, Ferreries and Ciutadella.

All the above are available at the Aeroclub, located between Maó and Sant Lluís.

The coast, as well as the interior, offers possibilities for potholing, thanks to the large number of caves that exist in the cliffs and in the gullies.
