S'Arenal is a 2 km beach in Mallorca with clear turquoise water, a wide sandy shore and views of the bay and mountains. The sea stays shallow for about 100 m, which suits children and long wades, while strong wind can bring surf and kitesurfing conditions. Access may be on foot only, with parking about 10 minutes or 1 km away; free parking and beach bars at both ends are mentioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get to S'Arenal, and is access by car or motorbike possible?
Several reviews note that access can lead via a private or closed road with a gate. In some cases, this means car or motorbike access is blocked. Depending on where you start, the final stretch is on foot, sometimes about 1 km or around 10 minutes from the parking area.
Is there parking near S'Arenal?
At least one review mentions free parking. The walk from the parking area to the beach is described as about 10 minutes in one case, and around 1 km along the coast in another. As access can be restricted in some sections, arriving early is sensible.
How long is the beach at S'Arenal?
Reviews describe the beach as being about 2 kilometres long. It is also wide and natural, with dunes, vegetation and rocks in parts of the coastal area. This means visitors can spread out across several sections.
Is the water at S'Arenal shallow and suitable for children?
Several reviews say the water stays shallow for about 100 metres, or for a long distance, before it gets deeper. The entry is sandy, which makes walking into the sea easier. Depending on wind and waves, that can be practical for children or relaxed bathing.
Are there nudist areas at S'Arenal?
Yes, reviews describe a nudist-friendly atmosphere, sometimes with mixed areas. The naturist section is often said to be at one end or in the middle of the beach. S'Arenal is therefore used by both textile and naturist beachgoers.
What facilities are available at S'Arenal?
Reviews mention showers in some places, as well as small restaurants, cafés and beach bars at both ends of the beach. At the same time, some stretches are described as having few or no facilities. It is therefore sensible to bring water and sun protection.
When is the best time to visit S'Arenal?
Reviews often describe the beach as quiet and uncrowded, but wind and season matter a lot. In September and at the end of June, some sections were reported to have a lot of seaweed in the water. For a calmer visit, an early start in the day can be sensible.
Is S'Arenal suitable for surfing or kitesurfing?
Yes, several reviews mention good conditions for surfing and kitesurfing when the wind is strong. The beach is long, open and exposed to wind, which can favour these sports. In calmer weather, the sea is usually much more relaxed.
