Estanys Beach is a long and wide stretch of sand, popular with many visitors yet still comfortable enough for a relaxing beach day. The water here is pleasantly warm all day long, making it ideal for extended swims.

Overall it’s a nice beach but we preferred Cala Santanyi for swimming, shade and...

This year there were a bit more people than usual, and the occupancy reached almost to the end of this beach, (last year it was much quieter). It is really spacious so there are no space problems and everyone can lie down without too much trouble. Only one complaint: this year I noticed a little too much coming and going of jet skis there were buoys with the entrance channel but then They were parking undisturbed on the shoreline, thus obstructing the passage of bathers. Bad move!!! I hope next year this rude situation will not...
