The beach should be for everyone, so we’ll be honest about accessibility in southern Mallorca: which beaches are best prepared for a wheelchair, what they offer and what not to expect. With a little planning, a beach day is absolutely doable.

What accessibility there is
The most practical option is the urban beaches of Colònia de Sant Jordi: being in the village, they usually have access walkways down to the shore, parking nearby and toilets, and in summer there is often an adapted-bathing service, with staff, amphibious chairs and sometimes aquatic crutches to get into the water safely.
The big wild beaches — Es Trenc, Es Carbó and the coves — are protected natural areas of soft sand with dune or footpath access: beautiful, but not adapted for a wheelchair. It’s worth knowing so you’re not caught out. The amphibious chair and the bathing service are seasonal and run to a timetable, so call Ses Salines Town Hall beforehand to confirm which beach has it running on the day you want to go.
Tips for organising your day
A couple of things help a lot: pick an urban beach with a walkway and parking close by, go in the cooler hours (early morning or mid-afternoon) and bring your own shade, as some beaches are short of it. If you use the adapted-bathing service, ask the timetable so you don’t wait. And if you stay with us, tell us when you book: we’ll help you choose the most comfortable beach and arrange the transfer.
Availability of walkways and the adapted-bathing service changes every season. Always confirm the latest information with Ses Salines Town Hall before your visit.
