Playa de Betlem (Balearic Islands) is located outside the Colonia de Sant Pere settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Majorca and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa de Betlem with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach may be rocky, but it's still suitable for a swim. Though it may not be the most ideal spot for a dip, it's still passable."
Bruno
"I didn't enjoy this beach one bit. The ground was littered with 30 cm of dry seaweed, the water was full of seaweed, and there was also a lot of waste and garbage. Don't bother going here - there are much better beaches in Mallorca, and this one even has public, free entry."
