Reviews often describe the water as clear and blue, and several visitors mention good snorkelling conditions. At the same time, the beach is described as rocky and stony rather than sandy. Jellyfish are also mentioned several times, so it is worth checking the conditions before going in.
Where does the trail start and is there parking?
The start is usually given in the reviews as Port de Pollença / Puerto Pollensa, with parking available at or near the trailhead. Some visitors note that the access road can be a bit rough, especially for lowered cars. If you are coming by car, an early start is practical.
