That place is great for relaxation, and the views are stunning. However, be aware of the jellyfish - my daughter (along with five or six other people we observed) was stung this morning and it was really painful. The lifeguards were really helpful and they sprayed the area where she was stung with a mix of vinegar and sea water, which provided some relief. The pharmacist in the area also advised some cortisone cream.

This beach near el Vilar may not be for everyone. It's a 25 minute drive from Alcudia, and the bottom is rocky, so make sure to bring water shoes. There's plenty of fish to be seen, but that won't be much help if you can't find a parking spot. Free parking can be found close to the beach, but if you don't get lucky, try Plaça Sant Vicenç. There are some restaurants that offer a nice view, but they'll cost you. Overall, it's a decent beach, but nothing too special.

I was speechless when I first laid eyes on this beach. It was truly breathtaking with its lush mountains and crystal clear waters, perfect for snorkeling. Just be aware of jellyfish! Getting there is no problem either, as public transport is widely available. I highly recommend adding this beach to your Mallorca itinerary list!

This spot is a stunning sight - the deep blue water, framed by majestic mountains, is a sight to behold. However, if you plan on snorkeling, be sure to bring your water shoes - the stones and pebbles can be a nuisance. Just be warned that it can become quite busy with locals, so come early to avoid the crowds.

We had an incredible day in Mallorca. We took a bus from Palma and reached Sant Vincenc at around 9am, and there were only 5 people at the beach. We put our towels down and then went to the tourist office. It was great to find a clean restroom nearby a public beach! The receptionist told us about a 45-minute hike along the coast, and we could have gone even further if we wanted. We found the trail by searching for “Punta de Coves Blanques” on Google. The view from the top of the cliffs was stunning! The hike was a bit rocky and sunny, so make sure to wear good shoes and bring water. We only saw 3 other hikers and a family of mountain goats. After that, we went back to the beach, which was full by that time. The sand was nice, but the water was a bit rocky, so it's best to wear water shoes. There are restaurants
