Platja de Muro

Platja de Muro stretches for 6 kilometers along Mallorca's north coast, offering some of the island's finest white sand and calmest waters. The beach divides into distinct sections: the developed area near Can Picafort with restaurants and rentals, and the pristine Es Braç section backed by protected dunes and pine forests. You'll find exceptionally shallow, turquoise waters that stay waist deep for 50 meters out, making it perfect for families with small children.

The experience varies dramatically depending where you settle. Near Can Picafort, you'll have typical resort amenities but also crowds and concrete. Walk north toward Es Braç and the scene transforms: wild dunes rise behind untouched sand, pine trees provide natural shade, and the only sounds are gentle waves and wind through the trees. The sand quality here rivals any Caribbean beach, fine and white without being blindingly bright.

Most guides rave about the entire stretch, but honestly, only the northern Es Braç section delivers on the paradise promises. The developed southern areas feel generic and overpriced (sunbed rentals run 15-20 EUR). Skip the beach clubs entirely and head straight for the nature reserve end. Parking at Es Comu costs 5 EUR but saves you a long walk from the free lots further south.
