This city beach is great - the sand is soft, there are parasols and seats provided, and there's a box where you can lock up your mobile and money. The water and beach are both very clean, and it's usually quite busy in October. It's easy to access, and if you're looking for a good lunch, it's worth the 200m walk up to the street. The restaurants on the beach are also great for drinks.

I took a short taxi ride to this wonderful beach, which cost me 12 Euros from the main cruise terminal. It was about 10 minutes away. The beach had beautiful, powdery sand and there were places to grab a bite to eat and drink. There were also stores within a two-minute walk, where you could buy snacks or water toys. The water was clear and refreshing, and there were lifeguards on duty. It was free to lay out on the beach, and you could rent two loungers and a palapa (thatched umbrella) for 19 Euros for the whole day. The taxi ride back to the same cruise terminal only cost me 5 Euros.

This beach is a great location, only a 10 minute taxi ride away from some amazing places. The beach itself is stunning, with gray fine pebbles and the town has some delicious restaurants. In early October, the temperature is perfect at 25-27c, with sun all day.

Come early by bus 108 from Palma and take advantage of the pristine, shallow and crystal clear waters for a morning swim before the crowds arrive.
