Palma's Best Sandy Beaches

Palma’s coastline ranges from wide urban sands to the protected shores of Cabrera National Park. Central beaches like Can Pere Antoni and Ciudad Jardín feature paved promenades and shallow waters, while the six-kilometer Platja de Palma offers extensive resort facilities. The list also includes secluded coves like Caló des Grells, a known nudist spot, and the pristine, remote sands of Sa Platgeta on Cabrera Island, accessible only by boat. These locations provide varied environments for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
