Cala Mesquida Beach, Cala Mesquida

Nice beach but the water was not very clean. And sometimes there can be big waves so it's not allowed to swim. Before going there it's better to check the website.

Beautiful sandy beach, lovely clear sea (although watch for jellyfish at times - check if the flag is up!) plenty of space, good beach bar with options, lots of sun loungers, at time of writing €16.50 for 2 chairs and umbrella. Excellent value, plenty of space and option of shade. Lockers on each umbrella to store valuables - very handy. Gets busy from 11am onwards, but we were still able to find a good spot (sun loungers) at 10/11/12. After 1pm I would think a lot more tricky but plenty of beach/ towel space still.

By far our favorite beach during our recent trip to Mallorca! The water was perfect, without a lot of the algae/seaweed washes we saw at other beaches. Definitely a popular location, so it's best to get there early to stake out a spot. There is a naturalist area to the far right side of the beach, marked, which is less crowded than the clothed area. Stunning views, and the boats did not stop too close to the beach.

This beach was accessible and near a free parking lot. There were lots of people but you could find a spot near the front of the water easily. We did notice the water was much deeper compare to the other beaches water you can walk forever before it gets deep. Might not be the best for young kids or kids that are still learning to swim. It had a huge section of black seaweed where no one was swimming. Also there were chunks of wood at the bottom of the ocean floor which can stab your feet. As were were driving to several beaches, we only stayed for about 2 hours. The restaurants near the beach were closed (4PM), and the cliff restaurant was reopening at 630pm. There are TONS to stairs to get from the parking area to the beach.

My absolut favourite beach, located on the east coast, about 4km away from Cala Ratjada. There is free parking available, however is might get difficult to find a space in high season, so be there early. The beach is protected by National park, the hotels are only build on the left side. There is a locely boardwalk crossing the dunes (protected as well) to reach the right area of the beach (nudist area, less crowded). There are sunbeds and umbrellas for hire (€18 per set/per day) closed to the hotel area. The beach is very clean (there is a recycling system in place) and the turquoise water is very clear and you can lots of fishes. The beach bar offers drinks, cocktails, beer snacks and sandwiches. There are very good-lucking lifeguards on duty. There is also a nice restaurant.
