S'Arenal Beach - by Susanne G on Google
Description
Playa s'Arenal is one of the most popular beaches along 'Playa de Palma', the 5km stretch of beach resorts spreading east from Palma de Mallorca. It is rated as a blue flag beach with palm trees and a pedestrian promenade with cafes and bars alongside it. Ther are lifeguards on duty during the summer season.
Access & Transport
The beach is 10-12km east of the center Palma. Bus #25 goes there from the tourist district of 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.
Environmental & Social
Green attraction though there is some waste. Negative impact on surrounding community due to over-commercialization and the nature of the local tourism
Conclusion
A decent option for those looking for a beach near Palma but go there in the morning preferably. Most likely better and more family friendly outside of the summer.
Key positive
