Family Beaches
» Platja de Muro ( Click here ) Fabulous sweep of silky sand and shallow turquoise sea in
the north's Badia d'Alcúdia. It backs onto the Parc Natural de S'Albufera.
» Cala Mondragó This southern Blue Flag bay in the Parc Natural de Mondragó ( Click
here ) is gorgeous, with brilliantly clear water and powder-soft sand. Great for snorkelling.
» Cala Agulla ( Click here ) Fringed by pines and dunes, this beautiful arc of a Blue Flag
bay sits just north of Capdepera. The water is shallow enough for paddling.
» Platja de Formentor ( Click here ) Getting to this north-coast beach by boat or the hair-
raising coastal road is part of the fun. Tiptoe away from the crowds on this pine-flanked
slither of sand.
» Cala Mesquida ( Click here ) Another east-coast favourite, this gently shelving bay has
dazzling clear water. It's better for older kids because of stiff winds and waves.
