Platja de Camp de Mar

Camp de Mar wraps around a perfectly protected horseshoe bay where 200 meters of golden sand meets water so shallow and calm that toddlers can splash safely while their parents actually relax. The real draw here isn't just the beach: a wooden walkway stretches 80 meters over the turquoise water to Es Moli de'n Boi, a restaurant perched on its own tiny island. Pine-covered hills dotted with luxury villas create a backdrop that feels more exclusive than most of Mallorca's busier beach scenes.

You'll find the vibe here distinctly more refined than the party beaches further east. Families claim spots early under the limited natural shade, while the wooden boardwalk becomes a slow parade of visitors heading to lunch or simply taking photos. The water stays shallow for about 30 meters out, making it ideal for kids, though serious swimmers might find it limiting. The restaurant's terrace offers the best views back toward the beach and surrounding cliffs.

Most guides don't mention that parking costs 8 EUR for the day and fills up by 11am in summer. The beach itself has no facilities, so bring everything you need or plan to eat at the island restaurant where mains run 18 to 28 EUR. Skip the overcrowded lunch rush between 1pm and 3pm when the walkway becomes a bottleneck. Early morning or late afternoon gives you the most space and the best light for photos.
