BEACHES
This largish isle has besides many beaches for me to see during my brusk stay, but the nicest department of coast I saw was but due south of hell-hole Megaluf.
PORTALS VELLS
The bay at Portals (Portas) Vells abt 5km yesteryear route due south of Megaluf. This is 1 sweetness bay alongside several tiny inlets each alongside its ain beach. The identify was a magnet for leisure craft. This shot should click-expand nicely.
Looks lilke fun. For some argue I didn't larn an invite aboard.
PLAYA DEL MAGO
One of the tiny beaches inwards the inlets of Portals Vell is Playa del Mago, Mallorca's master official nudist beach
Catch a #107 bus from Palma urban center or places along the means similar Megaluf. This terminates at the Casino. Walk downwards the route in addition to accept the 2d correct - a dirt route that heads downhill. This turns into a rail which drops thru the bush to the sea. Second inlet is Playa del Mago. Maybe a 10+ infinitesimal stroll from motorcoach to beach.
I walked inwards from Megaluf - it has means to a greater extent than buses from Palma. On concern human relationship I kinda got lost inwards the bush due south of Cala de Cap Falco it took the best utilization of ii hours.
Playa del Mago is a really compact beach. When I arrived it was super crowded - an overflow of people had spread along the rocks at the side of the inlet. About a quarter of the beach goers were "textiles" but nudists aren't offended yesteryear this inwards Spain, different some hard-core naturist destinations. There is a dainty restaurant/bar but behind the beach, really crowded. Note the beach had some shade on the southern side later nearly 1300 for hateful dudes similar me non prepared to pay for a Sun lounge/umbrella. Water was clear despite the boat traffic. The inlet shelves gradually which makes this a expert beach for kids.
I haven't got whatsoever pix: naturists larn nervous abt unmarried males taking photos at their beach. Okay, I could receive got hiked along the headland in addition to got a distant shot - but I was tired from my "lost inwards the bush" routine.
CALA VINYES
Cala Vinyes (Vinas), nearly 10 minutes walk due south of Megaluf. This is a sweetness lilliputian identify unit of measurement resort beach in addition to somewhat of a contrast to its brash northern neighbour. The #107 motorcoach calls inwards here.
Cala de Cap Falco is the adjacent south. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 really compact, tight lilliputian bay in addition to surprisingly crowded for an out of the means beach.
Getting farther due south from hither yesteryear route involves a lot of back-tracking, thence bush-meister tezza took off along 1 of the dirt tracks on the far side. I idea I knew where I was going (there are many cross-tracks along the way) but when I eventually popped out at a route in addition to asked a tradesmen loading a van to depository fiscal establishment jibe his phone's GPS (tezza's telephone is a MK 1 in addition to doesn't fifty-fifty receive got a camera, in addition to I'm besides hateful to purchase an overseas sim card. Hell didn't demand a telephone inwards the quondam days - don't demand 1 now. Except possibly when I larn lost) it turned out I was a km or thence brusk in addition to westward of where I thought. Duh!
MEGALUF
This expanse is infamous every bit political party cardinal for hedonistic Brit lads in addition to ladettes on packet holidays. Wasted people in addition to bad take away are non inwards brusk supply. However my visits mid morn in addition to belatedly afternoon didn't reverberate this - things were pretty quiet. Most of the l+lts to a greater extent than or less were showing signs of vesture in addition to tear in addition to were relaxiing on the beach or inwards beachside restaurant/bars inwards training for some other night's revelry. No incertitude I'd shape a different impression if I visited later mid-night when the clubs in addition to bars hitting attain gear.
I kinda similar Brit packet vacation destinations: y'all tin e'er notice actually expert deals on English linguistic communication breakfasts, other meals in addition to pints of beer. Brits e'er seem inwards expert sense of humor in addition to people watching is expert value if y'all are non lay off yesteryear lotsa ink in addition to the occasional display of besides much pinkish skin. I was struck yesteryear the lay out of guys who plainly hitting the gym, although the emphasis seemed to last on chests/shoulders which was enhanced yesteryear the no-body pilus thing: I personally shout out upward they should pass to a greater extent than fourth dimension on dorsum in addition to leg definition. There were some really attractive girls but possibly the cut-offs zipped opened upward at the front end to exhibit the low-riding bikini is a combat terminal decade. And ladies over forty - this hold back but doesn't cutting it.
Castilian girls are really edgy fashion-wise in addition to tend to vesture brusk tight shorts alongside a finished leg-hem. Zipped.
You may last thinking: who am I to appoint myself a fashion critic? Hell I'm an Olympic-class people watcher (comes alongside the territiory of doing thence much unmarried travel) in addition to receive got impeccable taste. This doesn't apply to my ain casual vesture - $3 Bali Billabong knock-off board shorts; oversized long sleeve concern shirt to piece of occupation on the Sun off, large Aussie bush lid in addition to a twain of elcheapo K-Mart joggers. Okay, I hold back a full dag but it's inexpensive, sun-protective, in addition to to tell the truth I don't give a damn what people think. Which is possibly the representative for those over-40s babes.
Megaluf beach mid morn - non peculiarly crowded but I figure many people are however inwards bed nursing hangovers. Maybe double the crowd when I returned at 1700. But all is non lost for 24/7 political party people - fifty-fifty at the fourth dimension of this shot at that topographic point was a DJ inwards a beach-club to left of photographic television camera in addition to a bunch of cool people bopping to a greater extent than or less a dainty pool. They didn't invite me in.
Megaluf is fact is a pretty dainty beach - construct clean sand, calm (at to the lowest degree inwards summer) fairly construct clean H2O in addition to alongside a walking promenade inwards dorsum alongside lotsa competitive restaurant/bars. No shortage of H2O sport activities if H2O skiing, banana boating in addition to air current surfing floats your boat. Some twenty-four hr menses trip political party boats were cruising the bay.
An interesting betoken is that at that topographic point were means fewer topless bikini babes hither than whatsoever other beach I visited inwards Spain. Lady tezza reckons this is because of the Anglo Saxon males' dodgy habit of snapping such ladies on their telephone cameras, in addition to thence posting to mates, social media in addition to voyeur sites. This begs the question: why are thence many Castilian girls on beaches they frequent topless or naked? I reckon it's partly because they don't give a damn having done this all their life in addition to partly because Castilian guys are thence used to naked/semi naked women they besides don't give a damn; in addition to can't last bothered wasting fourth dimension snapping in addition to posting.
Megaluf in addition to neighbor Palmanova. The to a greater extent than northern area, which seems a quieter version of Megaluf, is split upward yesteryear ii pocket-size headlands: I shout out upward each department has its ain local name. The whole three areas looked pretty dainty to me. btw I heard that Megaluf/Palmanova because of an abundance of accommodation is a favoured haunt of older Brit packet vacation makers inwards off flavor when really expert value deals abound.
I noticed the headland route betwixt Megaluf in addition to Palmanova had a concentration of competitive bar/restaurants in addition to seedy looking clubs offering all sorts of inducements to high flavor travelers (no incertitude at that topographic point are similar backstreets behind Megaluf beach). Wonder if they are however opened upward for the oldies?
There are really frequent buses into Palma urban center from this expanse - hold back for #106 from Megaluf in addition to a whole bunch of others from elsewhere on the south-west peninsula.
PLAYA ES TRENC AND OTHER BEACHES AROUND COLONIA DE SANT JORDI
This expanse towards the due south westward corner of Mallorca nearly 40km yesteryear route from Palma urban center is described yesteryear many every bit the nicest beach portion on the island. Certainly if long sandy beaches fronted yesteryear clear shallow H2O alongside heaps of picturesque boats anchored offshore is your thing, this could last true. The fact that a considerable department of long Es Trenc in addition to some of the other beaches are long fourth dimension unofficial nude areas (some sources tell Es Trenc is forthwith an official nude beach) adds to the attraction for many. The beaches certain are pop - on a dainty Dominicus inwards July I reckon at that topographic point were several yard people scattered over the area. Scattered may non last the best term - inwards many places beachgoers were quite closely packed. Note Ses Roquetes is frequently refered to every bit Es Dolc.
The major access to Es Trenc is via the resort town of Colonia de Sant Jordi inwards the due south or pocket-size Ses Covetes at the northward end. There is also a large car-park behind beach-central.
People walk from Sant Jordi to the southern beaches of Ses Roquetes E sDolc) in addition to Es Carbo. I believe quite a few people commons therir cars along the bush tracks behind these beaches in addition to a lot of boaties moore inwards the shelter of that pocket-size islet in addition to come upward ashore for some beach time.
At attain of frame the showtime of a similar inwards appearance to Es trenc but quieter 1km long beach tin last seen. I extends northward from Ses Covetes to the slightly bigger small town of Sa Rapita.
ES TRENC
Es Trenc from the Ses Covetes end. Might last a expert pic to click-expand. This 4km stretch of sand is whiter in addition to finer grained than most Castilian beaches, but no Whitehaven (wait if clicked). For such a busy beach the sand had lilliputian trash. The H2O was clear in addition to shelved gently making this a expert beach for kids. Tidal attain seemed tiny important if y'all commons inwards my favourite location unopen to the H2O y'all don't receive got to piece of occupation on moving yer towel/sarong. That black stuff inwards the H2O was finely Earth ocean weed, in all probability a remnant of wintertime storms. I don't similar weedy beaches but overall this was no problem.
The beach has life-guard towers, alter facilities, a lay out of beach bar/restaurants, lotsa beach chair/umbrella hire areas although at that topographic point is no lack of infinite for dudes similar me to spread a towel or sarong. Sometimes a combat unopen to others if privacy is yer matter - I personally don't give a damn.
Nudists tin last constitute most places along hither but are concentrated from nearly 20% on from the photographic television camera to the 50% mark. Once again, enough of "textiles" inwards the mainly nude area, in addition to nobody cares. As nobody cares abt nudists inwards the mainly stuff areas. I want people inwards Oz were every bit cool every bit the Castilian inwards this respect.
One of the one-half dozen or thence beach bars spread along El Trenc
PLAYA ESTANYS
Es Trenc from the reverse southern Sant Jordi end. I shout out upward technically this expanse is called Playa Estanys in addition to mightn't last Es Trenc until y'all hitting the rocks at the far end, in addition to thence walk the adjacent pocket-size bay. Maybe 1.5km. I idea the higher upward department of beach was pretty dainty peculiarly for an expanse easily reached from the many accommodation options inwards Sant Jordi. Didn't come across whatsoever nudists until the far pocket-size bay.
Colonia de Sant Jordi
Seen higher upward from the south, this long-time angling town has been developing its tourist facilities since the '60s.It has an quondam department close the harbour in addition to quite a few novel areas. There is no shortage of accommodation options inwards all types in addition to prices summation enough of restaurants in addition to bars. Overall it's a pretty dainty identify - given the alternative of beaches nearby I'd last tempted to rest hither if closeness to the airdrome in addition to Palma urban center was non important. I read that price-savvy holiday-makers hold back for apartments etc inwards some of the nearby inland towns such every bit Campos. Campos is an okay looking place.
