The beach of Mallorca Santa Ponsa is found on the
south west coast of Mallorca about 5km from Palma Nova and Magaluf
and 20km from the island capital and airport at Palma. Unlike the
nearby British resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf, Mallorca Santa
Ponsa has developed a strong Celtic theme and has become very popular
with both Irish and Scottish visitors.
The main beach is quite large, and in recent years it has been extended
with imported sand to accommodate a growing number of visitors to
the resort. Even so, in high season it can still become very crowded
due to its popularity with both tourists and locals alike. If you
wish to avoid the crowds, there is a smaller secondary beach set
in its own sheltered cove about 15 minutes walk away which can be
reached from the Av. Rei Jaume I.
Both beaches have the common facilities of a modern resort, along
with a good variety of water sports equipment available for hire.
Swimming in the bay of Mallorca Santa Ponsa is generally quite safe
with no strong currents, and fairly shallow waters.
