The beach is beautiful but like most beaches in Mallorca, it gets very crowded in the summer making it a bit uncomfortable to be in - everyone is practically on top of each other! The water is clear and beautiful, safe to swim in and very shallow. It is lifeguarded. I wouldn't recommend if you have younger children because there's not much space for them to run around in the summer since it's so crowded. The beach is in a town so there's shops and restaurants nearby and there's a beach bar and cafe on the beach. Overall I recommend if you're in the area but there are better beaches on the island.

Gorgeous beach. A little tricky to stumble upon. Way too many people! Especially for a Friday afternoon. There was a a restaurant and you can rent umbrellas. It is gorgeous but every square inch of beach is covered in people. The water is also pretty cold in May

This is one of the most beautiful beaches around. We had a lovely time there. There are restaurants close by and a very good vibe. Go and enjoy!!! Make sure u come early tho to catch a good place on the beach

Visited Cala Mayor beach on Sunday from Palma. The weather was great,the beach was crammed solid and it’s not that big really. We found probably the last few beds and parasol available. The old very bronzed beach guy came along and told us the two beds and one parasol would cost us 70 euros ! Quite surprised I asked him how much thinking I’d misheard him, he said in broken English SEVENTY. We declined his offer and found a pitch at the side of a beach bar offering a little shade, same idea as a young couple of locals. Watched the beach guy constantly telling people who had put their towels down to move on if they were catching the slightest bit of shade from his parasols ! One Spanish guy refused to move, they must have come to a compromise as the beach guy went off & returned with an umbrella so the local guy and his daughter moved on a few yards away from the parasols,no money exchanged hands. The sand is soft and very good. The sea very warm too. A few showers and toilets scattered about. My advice for any one going and planning to use the beach most days, take your own Stuff. 70 euros every day cost you more than the flight over.
