Platja de Formentor is the perfect spot to unwind; however, it can be a bit rocky and the sand is littered with twigs. Additionally, the beach is quite narrow, so you'll be right up against the shoreline.

This beach near Port de Pollenca is nothing special compared to other spots in Mallorca. We stopped by on our way to Cap de Formentor and had to pay 3.50€ for a measly 40 minutes of parking. That's outrageous - 7.8 cents per minute! Save yourself the trouble and don't bother; it's not worth the visit.

This place was delightful. The parking was a breeze and the beach bar was an amazing eatery with restrooms, treats and beverages. The cliffs offered spectacular views, and the chairs and umbrellas were a great advantage. The water was crystal clear, even on a cloudy day.

That place in Mallorca is a sight to behold! Though parking can be a bit costly, we paid 15€, it's worth it to take in the beauty of the shoreline.

A real gem! Early mornings are the best time to explore the shoreline, where you can find some of the most stunning views. After 1pm, the area can become quite crowded, so make sure to get there early to make the most of it!
