Sa Coma Beach, East Mallorca
‘Blue Flag’, white sandy beach on the east coast of Mallorca
Sa Coma is a large and popular beach located five kilometres from Porto Cristo in the east of Majorca. Being one of the island’s resort-based beaches, it is situated in a relatively built-up area which means it unsurprisingly becomes very busy at peak times.
The beach is 800 metres long, 30 metres deep and consists of lovely fine white sand, with clear and shallow waters. Occasionally, you’ll even be able to spot dolphins off the east coast here.
There are public toilets, sun loungers and parasols available to rent and lifeguards on duty.
Restaurants
The nearby resort provides several (mainly British) restaurants, bars and cafés along the adjacent promenade, with lots to choose from, as well as tourist shops and local supermarkets.
Nightlife
Whilst not considered a raging party town, family-friendly and laid back Sa Coma does offer a variety of options for evening entertainment and relaxing, with a good selection of bars, pubs, beachfront restaurants, and regular local events.
Hotels
Offering a mix of resort, boutique and all-inclusive hotels that cater to differing types of visitors, their hotel repertoire includes families, couples, and solo travellers. Several are along the beach front or at the very least, a short walk from the shore. A promenade behind the beach creates a forgiving barrier from the neighbouring traffic’s excessive noise and pollution.

Setting & Location
Found on the east coast of Mallorca, just south of Cala Millor, the well-developed tourist area of Sa Coma, the beach sits on the unoccupied peninsula of Punta de n’Amer which is well known for its impressive wilderness, and found at the north end of the beach where the resort ends. This rugged headland is a good place to work up a sweat, escape the crowds and explore the coastline, where you’ll come across a historic watchtower and restaurant attached.
At almost a kilometre in length, Sa Coma beach stretches quite wide and is much bigger than the neighbouring and much smaller beach of Platja S’Illot, making it perfect for families with young children.
Families will also enjoy visiting the wild animals at the nearby Safari Zoo, in either your own car or the park’s Safari bus, which is located on Sa Coma’s outskirts.
Water Safety & Clarity
The sea here is clear and relatively shallow perfect for younger children and less adventurous swimmers, with the bonus of lifeguards on duty in the busy summer months and during Majorca’s easterly winds.
Beach Quality
Sa Coma enjoys beautifully luxurious, fine white sand and is about as family friendly as Mallorca’s beaches get.
Watersports Nearby
Several water sports are on offer here, such as parasailing, jet skiing, banana boating with classic water bikes also available to rent.
