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 to 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.
