Our absolute favorite: Es Trenc. The beautiful Es Trenc beach stretches for 1,900 meters and is 22 meters wide. This keeps the number of bathers outside the high season pleasant and not crowded.
The waves are usually moderate, making it a great choice for families with children. All the usual beach services are available, including lifeguards, toilets and showers.
