Majorca has some of the most beautiful beaches on the Med. The coastline offers an incredible spectacle of the mountain range of Sierra Tramuntana dropping into the crystalline waters and is characterised by the alternation of small coves and long sandy beaches. Majorca’s coastline has something to offer to everyone, tranquil coves or super equipped buzzy beaches, it’s all there. The northwest coast, mostly spoiled by the ugly urban developments, goes from Port Andratx to Cap De Formentor almost 200 km of spectacular vertical rocks that reach up to 300 m in height and alternate with long sandy beaches.  One of the few areas to have escaped urbanisation here is Port de Soller where Repic Beach, 300 m long and 30 wide is far enough from the city and can be accessed only by foot which makes it a tranquil spot. Alternatively Traves Beach that runs along the central part of Port Soller and can be reached by tram is very well equipped with tourist facilities including restaurants, bars and umbrellas for hire. The most picturesque spot on this stretch of coast is Sa Calobra with its white rocks.
After the ugly urban mistakes of the northwest, the southwest appears in all its natural splendour. Sa Canova is one of the most beautiful spots, a beach of sand dunes that is part of a protected area.  Cala Torta, hard to reach, is a splendid beach of white sand completely unspoilt by mass tourism.
The area of Manacor is highly urbanised. Cala Moreira is a typical city beach with hotel chains all over it. Even Porto Cristo, once a fishing village, today is a crowded tourist spot. Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia are a little less busy, but still part of the whole tourist buzz.
The last beaches in the south coast are at Cap de Ses Salines, Es Dolç and Es Carbò are amongst the most beautiful of Majorca. Es Carbò is over 1400 m long with dunes, old pine trees and olive trees.
