Fantastic experience: One of my all-time favorite beaches—calming, beautiful, and surrounded by stunning scenery. The drive up is narrow and winding, so take your time. Arrive before 10 AM to avoid crowds and get a good spot. There’s a free parking lot and a bathroom, which is super convenient. I love the left side of the beach—fewer people, natural shade from pine trees, and I always found a peaceful spot to relax. I only wish I could have visited it more often!
Positive experience: Great beach but with heavily overpriced parking prices.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful! Parking close to the beach.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Mallorca, no doubt about it. Our experience here was amazing: crystal clear water, sunny day, no noise, few bathers,... in short... an absolute feeling of calm. Of course, it's important to clarify that we are talking about the month of November: low season. So the photograph taken in mid-July will be very different from the one described. The nearest parking is paid. Although I think there is a free one a bit further away, I believe. We paid around 8 euros for 2 hours. Not to mention the prices of umbrellas, loungers, etc. No comment.
Fantastic experience: This beach is quite calm with a very beautiful view. Be prepared to pay for parking, but it's really worth it.

Positive experience: Long but narrow cove. Fine sand and clear waters. There are two parking lots (one small and one larger) near the cove that fill up quickly. I went in mid-August around lunch time and had no access issues. There is a beach club, paid sun loungers, and a nearby pizzeria, but I would recommend bringing your own food and an umbrella since the sun hits in several areas. There are also shaded areas.
Fantastic experience: The access via the road was open. We arrived at 9:50 AM and the parking opens at 10 AM, we were able to find a spot without any problem on 14/8. The parking is expensive, but you pay for the beauty of the beach and the lack of overcrowding. There was plenty of space to put our things on the sand and there are also paid loungers. No need for umbrellas because there is shade on the sand. The place is very nice and very clean. Later, I don't know if they close access to the road if the parking gets full.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful. Located in a beautiful natural setting. It has a large free parking lot; we arrived around 11:30 and there was plenty of space. The beach is somewhat narrow, but it is not overcrowded. There is a beach bar where you can eat, and public restrooms. The only downside is that the sunbeds and umbrellas are expensive, 28 euros for the day.
Negative experience: Beware of fines for parking. There is an area not clearly marked where many cars park, then after a couple of hours the police (who are waiting 100 m away) come to give fines to everyone. If they want to service, they could better stand in that area and not allow parking. But clearly, this is a good business for them. A pity. The sea is very clear, but there are many stones that hurt your feed, and there are some small fishes that bite your feet/ankles.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful sandy beach, there are no sun loungers available and you have a free choice of spots under the trees. Unfortunately, we were only there for an hour by boat. Here you can still escape a bit from the mass tourism that unfortunately prevails in many places on the island.

Fantastic experience: Stunning sea and unspoiled pine forest. Just to clarify, the road was open and the parking is free and about 300/400 meters from the beach with a natural route through the pine forest. Sunbeds and umbrella cost 25 euros, with the presence of showers and a bar/restaurant. Absolutely worth seeing if you are in Mallorca.

The only downside is that the sunbeds and umbrellas are expensive, 28 euros for the day.
Positive experience: The beach is long but very narrow, you can also lie down in the pine forest and rent sun loungers, hammocks, and umbrellas. There is a lifeguard service, public showers, a bar/restaurant, and restrooms. The water is very clear and calm. There is a docking point for tourist boats, so there is a lot of movement of people; therefore, I recommend arriving early to find a spot on the beach. The road to get there is very picturesque and scenic, passing by the Mirador de Es Colomer (a must-stop). I recommend parking in the first parking lot on the left (open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM) because although there is a barrier, it is public and free. It is a 3-minute walk from there to the beach. The parking lots further ahead cost €25 for the whole day.
Negative experience: BE CAREFUL IF YOU GO TO FORMENTOR !!!! My opinion is not against the environment but against the actions. The best attractions in Formentor are: Cape Formentor (Cap de Formentor) Es Colomer Lookout Formentor Formentor Beach Talaia d'Albercutx Cala Figuera If you plan to go to any of these places keep the following in mind: the DGT in collaboration with the Balearic government will fine you €80 if you enter via the MA-2210 road, which is the only one. In case you didn't know, from June to September, if you want to access the Formentor peninsula, you must be authorized if you are a resident or a client of the restaurant or any other service; in other cases, if you access to take a walk in the area, you will receive a fine of €80. It is marked with a simple sign without a control barrier that you must read while driving. But no one expects that access to an area via a road is restricted without more thorough control LIKE BARRIERS, since the area is a UNESCO World Heritage site, they simply put up a sign and later some speed cameras to document your visit and then the corresponding FINE.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach at Formentor. Before the trip to the lighthouse, we visited the beach that is located right near the parking lot. The beach is stunningly beautiful, truly worth seeing! There is a restaurant on site. The water has a nice color and is very clean.

Fantastic experience: It's a beach where you'll find shade as it's surrounded by trees. It's not very big. The worst part is parking. There are 2 designated parking lots, but be careful! Very expensive, 23€ for 4 hours of parking. It has showers, restrooms, and lifeguard service.
Positive experience: Formentor beach. A paradise beach surrounded by pines with crystal clear waters and an incredible mountainous landscape. Let's get to the important part: The beach has a long stretch of sand but it's very narrow; I recommend walking towards Formentos island to find more space. There are several nearby parking lots but they are incredibly expensive at 18/20€ per day, but if you search and are lucky, there are some free parking spaces on the sides of the road. The beach is paradise-like with many pines that come almost to the shore, providing plenty of shaded spots. In some areas, the back zone is invaded by hotels, and on the sand, there are several areas with sunbeds that take up a lot of space, the price is high, as I show in the photos. It has all kinds of services: showers, lifeguard, and restrooms, as well as restaurants and bars in the area. In theory, it is good for snorkeling, but on September 4th, I found it with quite a bit of posidonia (seaweed) and the water quite murky, but that shouldn't be the norm, highly recommended 100%. If you want to know more detailed reviews in Mallorca, follow me.
Fantastic experience: Perfect view, it is peaceful, there is safety, no stealing, you can shop here, there is a shower, many trees for shade, some medusas but if you are careful that's ok. Clean water, make sure to bring googles to watch the fish, there's a lot but they are not very colorful. No shells, no sea urchins. We came by TIB bus, cheaper than parking.
Positive experience: Der Strand an sich ist sehr idyllisch und schön. Allerdings gibt es für Autos nur kostenpflichtige Parkplätze und der Einstieg ins Wasser wird durch Steine im Wasser erschwert. Große Bäume in Strandnähe liefern Schatten (falls gewünscht) und ein Lifeguard ist vorhanden und sorgt für Sicherheit.
Positive experience: 14 sept ojo. Más gente que en un Madrid-Barça, la playa es muy estrecha y no había distancia de seguridad. No dejaban de llegar autobuses y barcos de pasajeros, parecía el desembarco de Normandía. Si quieres aparcar hay que pagar, de salvaje tiene poco. Playa con encanto y sombra pero sobrevalorada.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place.
Fantastic experience: Crystal clear waters without any pollutants. Not like those of Port de Pollensa.
Positive experience: Nice beach with clear water. I think it is overrated, but still it is nice. The fast food place is no recommendation.
Fantastic experience: Platja de Formentor in Mallorca is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. A significant advantage during the day are the wonderful trees that provide nice shade. While the beach is often well-visited during the day, it reveals its true magic in the evening hours – an experience that we will never forget. In the evening, Platja de Formentor has a heavenly tranquility. The gentle sound of the waves, the clear, fresh air, and the last rays of sunshine that bathe the water in golden and pink hues create an atmosphere that is hard to put into words. The view of the surrounding pine forests and the shimmering sea makes the moment perfect. What makes the evening visit so special is the absence of the usual daytime visitors. No crowds, no boats – just nature in its pure beauty. It is the ideal moment to let the soul dangle, perhaps take a little walk along the shore, or simply enjoy the moment. While Platja de Formentor is often lively during the day, it transforms into a place of relaxation and inspiration in the evening. For photographers, romantics, or anyone seeking peace, this is the perfect time to experience the beach. Conclusion An evening at Platja de Formentor is more than just a beach visit – it is an experience that touches the heart. Anyone who has the chance should definitely experience this magical moment. A true insider tip for Mallorca lovers! Best regards More impressions on Liewerline / Youtube

Fantastic experience: Great beach in a natural environment full of pines. Healthy sea water with local flora and fauna. Light tide where you can do paddle surfing or other activities. There are also beach bars in case you get hungry or thirsty.
Fantastic experience: Preciosa y amplia playa, hay empresas para poder hacer paddle surf o andar en pedaló por 20€/ hora. Si vais a hacer snorkel no hay mucha cosa en lo que es la playa, y si te adentras hay algas, pero es un sitio precioso.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with very clear water. It was very crowded, but you can always find a spot since the beach is very spacious. If you are willing to walk a few minutes, you can be completely alone in some areas. There are plenty of shaded spots thanks to the trees, and the toilets are free. It's great for snorkeling. Very easy and convenient to reach by bus.
Fantastic experience: Until around 11 AM, a lonely place to linger... Beautiful clear water, perfect for snorkeling. We paid 7€ for parking fees for 2 hours.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach for snorkeling, if you look closely you can find the octopuses among the rocks, the water is super clear and nice in temperature, at the first beach the sunbeds are expensive to rent, walk a bit further and you can relax wonderfully on the rocks or gravel beach.

Positive experience: Magnificent cove with white sand and crystal clear waters ideal for snorkeling. There is plenty of shade and it’s wonderful to stay here; the only downside I would mention is that parking costs 0.08 per minute, an absolute craziness, I think they shouldn’t abuse prices so much. Other than that, 100% recommended.

Positive experience: We went in the afternoon. At 6 PM. Beach with shade (there are trees). It's long but not wide. That is to say, there is little distance from your towel to the sea. The diving theme was nothing special, the water wasn't completely clear. There were a lot of people. Parking was very expensive. Lots of people.
Positive experience: Beach with wonderful views and crystal clear waters for amateur diving. In summer, we need to go early due to the accumulation of people and road access issues. A negative point is the expensive parking fee.
Fantastic experience: Espectacular playa en Mallorca. Ideal para familias con niños, buceo etc.. Hay Chiringuito, alquiler de embarcaciones, baños y demás. Eso sí, al llegar hay que pagar parking y, aunque caro para mí gusto, merece la pena. Totalmente recomendable.
Positive experience: Acqua cristallina e limpida. Odore di zolfo. Spiaggia di sabbia. È presente ampio parcheggio all'ombra la cui tariffa è di 0,04 € al minuto per un massimo di 15€ per la giornata. Purtroppo i prezzi per l'affitto di lettini e ombrelloni è abbastanza alto: Si possono infatti affittare il set ombrellone e 2 lettini al prezzo di 24€ o solo lettini dal costo di 7€ a lettino (quindi 14€ la coppia). La zona dove si affittano solo i lettini si trova sotto a pini, dove si sta molto bene, ma ogni tanto cade un po' di resina, attenzione a dove cade! È presente un piccolo bar dove acquistare le bevande, un piccolo bazar e un grande bar-tavola calda self service. Diverse bar he fanno avanti e indietro, lasciando molte persone sulla spiaggia.
Positive experience: Al contrario de la mayoría de las críticas, no nos gustó el lugar. El camino es divertido, las vistas en el camino son fantásticas, pero la playa en sí es pequeña, está abarrotada y las vistas desde la playa no justifican las exageraciones. Sombrillas y cama por 80E?? Debe estar bromeando. Trae el tuyo o toma un kayak. 2-3 horas máximo. Sin embargo, marcó la marca.

Fantastic experience: Muy buena playa. Tiene varios servicios. Baño gratuito. Se abona el parking 18 euros el día. Lugares para comer y alquilar kayak o barcos.
Negative experience: La playa podría ser paradisiaca, pero está demasiado explotada. Casi todo el arenal ocupado por tumbonas de pago, patines, kayaks...parking carísimo (6'40 € por una hora y media). Atención si vais a visitarla del 23/06/22 al 15/09/22 hay que solicitar una autorización o si no, os llegará una sanción.
Positive experience: La playa es bonita pero los precios de los parkings son abusivos. Hay 3 parkings y cuanto más cerca de la playa son un poco más caros. Se pueden alquilar kayaks y barcas de pedales. La zona de arena es muy estrecha y gran parte de la playa está ocupada con hamacas de alquiler, por lo que no queda demasiado espacio para las toallas. Por otro lado, no sé si fue cosa del día en el que fui pero en el mar habia peces que picaban.
Positive experience: La carretera hasta llegar a Formentor tiene muchas curvas pero con un paisaje precioso. Las imágenes que puedes ver en Internet no reflejan demasiado bien lo que es esta playa. Pegado a un muro, discurre este arenal de no más de 4 m de ancho, por lo que la masificacion de gente puede ser importante. Arena fina, la entrada al mar es bastante suave por lo que la hace ideal para niños. El agua estaba clara, aunque a veces venía un olor desagradable. Lo mejor es que tiene sombra natural, por los pinos y no se pasa mucho calor. Hay una zona para alquilar kayak, motos de agua... Hay un restaurante Beach club con buena pinta pero nosotros preferimos comer de bocatas en la playa. Ojo con el parking, porque es un atraco a mano armada:4h, 18€.
Positive experience: Szép enyhén köves strand. Néhol aprócska medúzákkal, pár embert megcsípnek minden nap de a parton kezelik az essetleges sérüléseket. Drága a parkolás(15€/nap) és drágák a nyugágyak (25-50-80€/nap, függően a nyugágy méretétől). A parton található étterem sem mondható olcsónak a maga 18€-s marghareta pizzájával. Kajak 14€/óra, kétszemélyes 17€/óra. Egy fél napot megérhet a hely ha erre jár az ember. (Az árak 2019 Augusztusában lettek leírva, ha tetszett az értékelésem dobj egy like-ot ) Kellemes nyaralást!!! Great but expensive af.

Positive experience: Great beach but with heavily overpriced parking prices.

Fantastic experience: Empty and beautiful in the off-season

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach.
Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite beaches on the island. It's so quiet and the water is beautiful. The best time is when the sun goes down and the beach is empty. I highly recommend going and then visiting the viewpoint. It's really worth it.
Fantastic experience: Streuuth this beach is great
Fantastic experience: This beach is quite calm with a very beautiful view. Be prepared to pay for parking, but it's really worth it.
Positive experience: Long but narrow cove. Fine sand and clear waters. There are two parking lots (one small and one larger) near the cove that fill up quickly. I went in mid-August around lunch time and had no access issues. There is a beach club, paid sun loungers, and a nearby pizzeria, but I would recommend bringing your own food and an umbrella since the sun hits in several areas. There are also shaded areas.
Positive experience: Very beautiful. Only the bland cafeteria ruins the magic of the place.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with a parking lot right next to it (but it fills up quickly). Suitable for diving. There's a bar, showers, and toilets nearby.
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous beach with white sand and turquoise sea! By the way, not everywhere in Mallorca has white sand. It was a bit scary to drive to this location on the mountain twisty road and it was a bit hard to find a free parking spot, but we had a great time afterwards! The beach is equipped (there are umbrellas and sun loungers, a shower (so-so...), toilets, a restaurant).
Fantastic experience: A magnificent beach, of a transparent blue! The beach is very large, and if you go inland, you come across small accessible and very beautiful coves. We left the car at the port of Pollença, and we took the bus 334: quick and inexpensive!
Fantastic experience: The most beautiful beach with sand that we have been to, twice even, and we had to travel about 70-80km to get there. The view of the bay, the blue water. If someone likes snorkeling, they have to go a bit further to the rocks. In the season, around 2 PM one day, there was no problem parking in the paid parking right by the beach, note the fee is by the minute! A bit further there is free parking, where we parked the next day around 3 PM. We were slightly surprised that the entrance to the peninsula was closed for an hour due to a lack of spaces. On the way to the beach, there is a beautiful viewpoint where it's worth stopping. At the beach, there are toilets, showers, and changing rooms by the local bar.
Fantastic experience: A must stop if you come to Mallorca! Spectacular, we loved it✨️ Cap de Formentor Playa Formentor Cala Figuera's
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, with good access and services for families
Negative experience: 25 euros for a few hours of parking for a motorcycle? You're crazy if you think I'll come back... The management over there is very bad.
Fantastic experience: Great beach. A bit narrow but water is pristine.
Fantastic experience: Stunning sea and unspoiled pine forest. Just to clarify, the road was open and the parking is free and about 300/400 meters from the beach with a natural route through the pine forest. Sunbeds and umbrella cost 25 euros, with the presence of showers and a bar/restaurant. Absolutely worth seeing if you are in Mallorca.

No need for umbrellas because there is shade on the sand. The place is very nice and very clean. Later, I don't know if they close access to the road if the parking gets full.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful. Located in a beautiful natural setting. It has a large free parking lot; we arrived around 11:30 and there was plenty of space. The beach is somewhat narrow, but it is not overcrowded. There is a beach bar where you can eat, and public restrooms. The only downside is that the sunbeds and umbrellas are expensive, 28 euros for the day.
Fantastic experience: Nice narrow beach. Quite a lot of people, considering the location.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca. I personally cannot understand some negative comments at all, it's a dream! We paid €15 for 3.5 hours of parking. It's expensive, but it's worth it anyway!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with turquoise water lined with a pine forest. At the time of our visit, it was crowded; everyone wants to see it since it's known as the most beautiful beach in Mallorca. And it's true :-)
Fantastic experience: Stunning cove that deserves to be visited if you are passing by.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with very clear water. It was very crowded, but you can always find a spot since the beach is very spacious. If you are willing to walk a few minutes, you can be completely alone in some areas. There are plenty of shaded spots thanks to the trees, and the toilets are free. It's great for snorkeling. Very easy and convenient to reach by bus.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. A bit crowded, but if you take a walk to the left along the restaurants when you arrive, you will find a quiet spot with few people at the end of the beach. However, it's further from food. It won't be like this for long either, as they are building a huge hotel there, and soon this will probably be full too. Parking is free a bit away from the beach, at the bus stop to the lighthouse.
Negative experience: The only way to get there is by bus; you cannot drive your car up.
Negative experience: Beware of fines for parking. There is an area not clearly marked where many cars park, then after a couple of hours the police (who are waiting 100 m away) come to give fines to everyone. If they want to service, they could better stand in that area and not allow parking. But clearly, this is a good business for them. A pity. The sea is very clear, but there are many stones that hurt your feed, and there are some small fishes that bite your feet/ankles.
Fantastic experience: It's small but beautiful. There is free parking right by the entrance.
Positive experience: The beach is long but very narrow, you can also lie down in the pine forest and rent sun loungers, hammocks, and umbrellas. There is a lifeguard service, public showers, a bar/restaurant, and restrooms. The water is very clear and calm. There is a docking point for tourist boats, so there is a lot of movement of people; therefore, I recommend arriving early to find a spot on the beach. The road to get there is very picturesque and scenic, passing by the Mirador de Es Colomer (a must-stop).

The parking lots further ahead cost €25 for the whole day.
Fantastic experience: It's awesome because there is natural shade.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful sandy beach, there are no sun loungers available and you have a free choice of spots under the trees. Unfortunately, we were only there for an hour by boat. Here you can still escape a bit from the mass tourism that unfortunately prevails in many places on the island.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful sandy cove with crystal clear water. Trees provide shade on the beach. There is one restaurant, and the prices reflect that. The parking is paid. The restroom is clean. Small fish nibble in the water. :D
Fantastic experience: Very nice, therefore also quite busy. When the parking lots are full, access via the serpentine roads is early on closed. However, it is definitely worth coming here.
Fantastic experience: If I could, I would give it 6 stars, a must-visit if you come to Mallorca. The only downside is the extremely expensive parking (80 cents per minute!!!), which is why we decided to park our car at the Gotmar 1 bus stop and take the bus, which stops practically right next to the beach and only costs €3. The beach is rich in vegetation, long, well-equipped, and with literally crystal-clear water, a gently sloping seabed ideal for families with children. Beware of the goats, which can smell food and are not afraid of humans, to the point of climbing onto towels to feed on your lunch. Highly recommended also for the nature reserve in which it is located.
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in Majorca, crystal clear waters and fine sand
Fantastic experience: I loved this beach!!! A must visit
Fantastic experience: It was one of my favorite beaches. Beautiful clear water, slightly rocky shoreline, boats also go from here. Parking and restrooms are free.
Negative experience: There are definitely better beaches! In front with stones you have to walk over, the beach is contaminated with pine needles and stones. No showers! In the water, biting fish. Beaches like Can Picafort and Playa de Muro are definitely better.
Fantastic experience: Paradise beach. I recommend going in the morning until 12 o'clock or in the afternoon after 4 o'clock.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, turquoise water
Fantastic experience: Lovely and very calm place for a day in June. The best surprise of Mallorca. We found a nearby and free parking.
Positive experience: Unfortunately for us, one of the biggest disappointments at beaches in Mallorca (Dirty, Small, even more overpriced,…) We don't understand the hype. We were here once, but we won't come back. What a pity.
Fantastic experience: Wow wow wow, it cannot be explained. The photos speak for themselves.
Fantastic experience: Charming beach. Parking nearby, 80 euro cents per minute.
Fantastic experience: I don't understand the negative comments.. this is not an all-inclusive hotel but one of the most beautiful coves in Mallorca, it's normal to have to sit with a bath towel.. Super pleasant and beautiful water..
Fantastic experience: The beach certainly leaves much to be desired, but the water is excellent in terms of depth and the view itself, which is worth the trip. I recommend it!
Positive experience: We were here on a rather windy evening and had the beach almost to ourselves. We could park for free in the designated area behind the barrier.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach with light sand. We went there as a family with friends on an organized bus tour around the island. Several trees provide shade to rest. We had our picnic there. Several curious goats came to see us on this occasion.
Fantastic experience: Superb beach with fine sand, long and shaded with shallow waters perfect for children. Self-service available with high prices but it helps.
Positive experience: The beach has a paid parking lot. Parking costs 25 euros for the whole day. Since there are few spaces, you should arrive early. We left the beach around 12:00 and there was already a huge line for parking. The beach itself is average - the pluses are that the water is clear and there are trees on the beach that provide shade. But the downside is that the sand is full of pine needles, thorns, etc.
Negative experience: Very beautiful beach but a tourist trap.... Everything is very expensive compared to the rest of the island. Rent a scooter and take a ride, you will find equally beautiful places without the crowd. Above all, advice for this outing. To be avoided...
Fantastic experience: Amazing as always
Fantastic experience: Perfect place for a lazy day
Negative experience: I got robbed today. Be careful!!! They didn’t take my wallet - just the money …
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach for swimming and having a very pleasant time.
Fantastic experience: Very nice. I was there at 8:30am and had the entire beach to myself.
Positive experience: Hidden recommendation. Cozy and quiet. Weekends might get busy and loud due to a lot of families with kids visiting.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach!
Fantastic experience: Great beach, idyllic place at sunset
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, not very big, full
Positive experience: 25 euros for parking all day, but a very enjoyable beach to relax on, the water is calmer than other beaches and great for kids and SUPs. You will need to be there at 10 am or earlier if you want a car park space. Bring your own chairs, and food if you don't want to pay loads for beach food. Lovely beach, shaded with trees until 10 to 10:30 am, rental beds are expensive. 35 for 2 in 1 area and 90! Yes, 90 euros at the end near the roundabout.....
Fantastic experience: The most beautiful beach in Mallorca
Fantastic experience: It's a beach where you'll find shade as it's surrounded by trees. It's not very big. The worst part is parking. There are 2 designated parking lots, but be careful! Very expensive, 23€ for 4 hours of parking. It has showers, restrooms, and lifeguard service.
Positive experience: Beautiful fine clean sandy beach. The journey here is worth it. On weekends and holidays, it's crowded.. parking is a bit away and it was free.. restaurant and restroom nearby. Prices like for locals..
Fantastic experience: You can access the beach for free, great beach, clean, with supervised selective sorting and many shaded areas, with warm and crystal clear waters. However, the downside is the self-service!!! €3 for a small packet of chips, €3.90 for 8 olives, it's overpriced, bring your own picnic.
Positive experience: I recommend it! Beautiful narrow sandy beach with a small harbor. Few dining options. Wonderful views!
Positive experience: A beautiful section of the beach. The trees offer plenty of shaded spots. However, take your own parasols. The sun loungers on site cost 70 euros. The front spots even cost 90 euros. We had to pay 25 euros for the parking lot. The beach is nice, but not nicer than the other beaches in Mallorca.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, wide and long with very fine sand and little depth, ideal for families with children. There are two paid parking lots available! The rates are a bit exaggerated. Expect to pay €3.60 for 1 hour and €25 for the day. Even scooters have to pay! The road to access it is sometimes quite narrow with bikes all around and sometimes buses. Be careful, as there are apparently traffic restrictions from September.
Positive experience: Very nice but they force you to pay parking 0.08€ per minute
Fantastic experience: No words are needed.
Positive experience: The beach is nice but they take advantage too much, €3.5 for a small bottle of water, €7 for parking for 1 hour. Overrated.
Positive experience: Personally, it is one of my least favorite beaches on the island, that doesn't mean it's bad, it's just that there are better coves in Mallorca. It is a very narrow beach and very crowded, with boat trips that reach the beach. The parking is one of the most expensive on the island.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches on the island. You won't regret anything if you visit it. Great view, transparent water, a lot of space. Quite limited public transportation in May — the last bus leaves around 6 PM, but during the summer there should be more options.
Fantastic experience: Perfect in May!!! And the water is heavenly
Fantastic experience: A wonderful day in this place, is another peaceful place. Beautifully..✌️
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and I know my stuff!
Positive experience: Charming place. Sandy beach with fine sand. In case of scorching sun, the trees provide us with shade.
Fantastic experience: Impressive, nothing to envy from the Caribbean.
Fantastic experience: One of the nicest beaches I've visited.
Fantastic experience: A dream beach, beautiful, one of the best on the island of Mallorca
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach..... the parking is paid, but I would consider it an entrance to be at this beach, the surroundings are super pretty.
Fantastic experience: Perfect beach. Nice and quiet. Make sure to go further down, past the coffee shop as it's more secluded. Parking is 0.06/min capped at €20 a day.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, found calm water even on a windy day, unfortunately parking costs a lot, stunning colors of the water
Fantastic experience: Très belle plage au sable blanc et à l’eau turquoise. Les parking permettent d’y être rapidement. Un conseil ne pas s’arrêter au première plage
Fantastic experience: Super schöner Ort. Lohnt sich für einen längeren Aufenthalt, aber auch schon für einen kurzen Ausflug. Die Landschaft ist traumhaft. Die Autofahrt dort hin jedoch abenteuerlich
Positive experience: Belle plage d'accès facile avec un embarcadère
Fantastic experience: Una belleza, la zona paga con reposeras es mejor ya que la playa mas apartada es angosta y descuidada en cuanto a la limpieza. Me refiero a ramas y hojas que caen de los árboles.
Positive experience: Convenient beach.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach.. I came here by boat. It's a great place for water activities in warm weather.
Fantastic experience: Beach is for everyone! So quiet and peaceful compared to the summer season.
Positive experience: Beautiful little cove, very quiet in winter. In fact, a few people dared to brave the cold water. The traditional hotel has been demolished and is currently being replaced by the most luxurious and expensive hotel on the island, which is still a huge construction site. Behind it, a few very quiet little streets....
