Cala Millor
The beach of Cala Millor is very touristic and one of the most crowded beaches on Mallorca. The beach is large with fine-grained white sand and is by many considered to be one of the best apart from being very crowded.

Cala Fornells
It is small beach with fine sand near Peguera. 100 meters long and 6 meters wide. Sun chairs can be hired. As there are hotels nearby and many summer houses in the area, this place is best visited outside the high season.
Sóller
There is a major stream which separates the commercial area of the port from the beach known as Platja d’en Repic . This beach is long (1’100 metres) and very narrow (13 marts), and is mainly a very light shingle beach. The usual attractions are available, such as sun beds, pedalos and first aid, but you also can take boat trips from this beach. The city beach also called ‘Port’ runs alongside the harbour road with some lovely seafront restaurants. The first small part of the beach is quite good but the rest is narrow and covered with gravel and small stones. Port de Sóller is situated in the north-western of Mallorca on the coastline of ‘Serra de Tramuntana’ which surrounds the city with steep mountains.
Playa Mago
It was the first nudist beach on Mallorca. Located some 4 kilometers south from Magaluff, the waters are clear and there is a restaurant where you can sit and enjoy the shade. The beach is very small and the parking is limited, so it is best to be there before 11:00 if you have a private vehicle.
