Description

Platja de Na Patana is an unspoilt sandy beach on Mallorca, close to Can Picafort and protected as part of the Son Real nature reserve.

A Natural Beach in a Protected Setting

Platja de Na Patana sits within a protected coastal landscape of dunes and natural shoreline, with sandy stretches and clear water largely untouched by development. There is no infrastructure here — just nature in its raw form. Depending on the time of year, seagrass can accumulate along the waterline and make getting into the water a little trickier.

Dogs Welcome

The beach is designated as a dog-friendly area where dogs can run freely, making it a popular destination for owners and their four-legged companions. It is worth checking the current rules before your visit, as regulations may be subject to change.

Getting There

The most reliable way to reach the beach is on foot from Platja de Son Bauló, following the coastline for a few minutes. If you are arriving by car, the best place to park is on the last street in Can Picafort near Son Bauló beach. Bear in mind that Google Maps navigation sometimes leads to a private equestrian centre rather than the beach itself — sticking to the coastal path from Son Bauló is the safer bet.

Atmosphere & Views

Platja de Na Patana has a calm, unhurried feel that sets it apart from busier stretches of coast. In the evening especially, the wide, open view across the water makes it a particularly rewarding spot.
