The Beaches - 3 fantastic stretches of sand
Palmanova Beach Palmanova Bay
The jewels in the crown in Palmanova are most definitely the pristine beaches cared for by Calvia Ajuntament (council).
The three beautiful beaches, Playa Son Matias, Playa de Palmanova and Playa Es Carregador, are magnificent with marvellous fine golden sand and crystal clear waters. All have been awarded the 'BLUE FLAG' which denotes that the quality of both the beach and the water is regularly checked and kept to a very high standard.
The three beaches are easily accessible from the smart pedestrian walkway. This together with the fact that Palmanova is mainly flat attracts many disabled visitors. You will find assisted bathing available for those with special needs.
At the end of Es Carregador Beach you can enjoy taking a walk around the little Port.
