Santa Ponça beach, Mallorca

1 Gran Via Puig de Galatzó, Santa Ponça, Illes Balears

Description

Santa Ponça beach is a 1.3km long white sand beach in the southwest of Mallorca. It is rated as 'blue flag' with good water quality, lifeguards, good visitors' infrastructure and several water sports and activities available.

Access & Transport

The beach is 18km southwest of Palma and 7km south of Calvia. Bus #103 goes there from Palma

Instructions & Recommendations

It's the beach and the sun can be strong in the Baleares so don't forget the usual protective equipment (hat/cap, "green" sunblock, sunglasses, slippers) and some water.

Meta review

Online review shows that there is competition between various resort areas in Mallorca - and not always fair. That being said, comments about the beach tend to be very good with clean white sand, shade from palm trees at the back or rental umbrellas but not unanimous for the water and quite negative as regards to the town area which is packed with foreign tourists and drinking venues.

Environmental & Social

The beach has no carbon footprint but not so for the resort area that also creates a lot of waste. Over-commercialized

Conclusion

The beach is pleasant and quite easy to get to from Palma but it isn't the most impressive on the island. Families may prefer to go there for the day but stay elsewhere in the evenings.
