Beach · Ses Salines
Also known as Platja des Carbó · Platja d'es Carbó
A long white-sand beach in Ses Salines, about 1.5 km of it, isolated, with calm water and facing south-west. You reach it on foot or by boat, and the nearest car parks listed in OpenStreetMap are a little over 1 km away.
Stops of the TIB intercity network, measured in a straight line. The data published by TIB for line 517 only run until 31 October 2026 (summer timetable): in winter it may not run. Check the current timetable at tib.org.
The official listing gives no walking time and OpenStreetMap lists no car park within 1 km of the beach: allow for a longer walk from wherever you leave the car.
The official beach listing includes the boat among the ways to get there.
You can also get here by sea, with these trips from our directory:
Average values for Mallorca (NOAA OISST, 1991-2020 climatology), not measured at this spot.
Es Carbó opens to the south-west: with south-westerly or westerly winds, swell usually rolls in.
With northerly, north-easterly, easterly, south-easterly or southerly winds, by contrast, it is usually more sheltered.
This is a general orientation based on which way it opens, not a forecast: the shape of each coast changes it, so check the day’s weather before you go.
