Es Carregador Beach

Palma's city beach inside the port: a strip of light sand sheltered by the breakwater, where the water is calmer than in the open bay. Cruise liners and the distant silhouette of the Cathedral are part of the view, and the seafront promenade with bus routes runs alongside. Locals favour it over tourists — they come for a morning swim and an evening jog along the pier, with cafés in the nearby blocks.
