The crystalline water of Mallorca is perfect for swimming and all kinds of water sports such as fishing, kite surfing, wind surfing and sailing. The Mediterranean Sea laps the shores of Mallorca providing a source of fresh fish and sea food which you can try at one of the many seafront restaurants. The great variety of wonderful beaches on the island are what make it such as attractive tourist destination with quiet, hidden, little coves and wider, sandy beaches to choose from like those of Can Pastilla and El Arenal with a 6km stretch of soft sand.
