Cala Esmeralda Beach

Great beach. Soft sand. Warm water. Great views. Easy acess.
Cala Mesquida

Avalon
We've been to this beach three times and it's definitely our favorite in Mallorca. The parking is free, although it does tend to get crowded after 11am. They have a bar where you can purchase food and drinks, but they only accept cash. The beach is well-maintained and the water is stunning. Just be mindful of the wind direction. We experienced two days of calm seas, but on one day the wind was coming from the North and it made the water a bit rough. They offer umbrellas for rent at €16.5 per day, but it's advisable to arrive early if you want to secure one. As far as I know, there are no showers or toilets available.

The beach is small and lacks any amenities, but it has a natural beauty and wildness to it. It's a pleasant place to take a walk and offers a lovely view from the nearby cliff.
Beach S'Amarador

One of our preferred destinations to go by boat, as long as the wind is blowing in the correct direction and the ocean waves are not higher than 0.5m.

Mallorca is the perfect place for a beach getaway! The stunning small beach is surrounded by lovely cliffs, while the mesmerizing turquoise ocean provides a warm welcome. Spanish-style villas line the cliffs and boats are peacefully docked in the harbour. Lifeguards are on duty to ensure safety, and the beach is kept clean and litter-free. There's also a public toilet and a foot shower, so you can rinse off the sand before you go. Plus, there are plenty of shops and restaurants to explore.

This beach near sa Pedruscada is a bit of a pain to get to, but it's worth it in the end. The water is great, especially on the right side, and it's a great spot for swimming if you can manage to find parking - which is no easy feat. Unfortunately, there's no shower.
