General information
Despite the fact that the harbour is only 800 metres from the airport and
noise pollution can be high, this marina has long been a favourite spot for
yachtsmen due to its low berth rates and excellent, inexpensive shipyard. In
the low season, when the the airport is quieter, it is a popular place to winter,
being a safe haven, close to Palma. However, in summer and winter alike, telephoning
to make an advance reservation is advisable (Tel. 971.26.35.12). The harbour
itself is easy t
o enter except in strong SE, W or SW winds. San Antonio de
la Playa marks the beginning of the stretch of long, wide beaches that border
this side of Palma Bay. It is a popular tourist spot, packed with bars, restaurants
and small supermarkets.
