Sa Coma beach
Sa Coma, a gem nestled on the southeast coast of Mallorca, boasts one of the island's most beloved beaches. Spanning approximately two kilometers, this pristine stretch of sand is situated within the eponymous resort, roughly 70 kilometers from the bustling capital and a mere 5 kilometers from the charming resort town of Porto Cristo. Renowned for its immaculate condition, Sa Coma's beach is celebrated for having the whitest sand on the island - a dazzling spectacle that, along with modern amenities and the stunning natural landscape, draws discerning tourists from across Europe and beyond. Much like its northern neighbor, Cala Millor, Sa Coma is a favored spot among German visitors, adding to the beach's vibrant, multicultural atmosphere.

When is the best time to visit?
The best time to visit Mallorca for a beach vacation is typically during the late spring to early autumn months, when the weather is warm and sunny. Here's a breakdown of the optimal periods:
- Late Spring (May to June): This is an ideal time to enjoy the beaches with fewer crowds and pleasant temperatures. The sea might still be a bit cool for swimming, but the weather is perfect for sunbathing and exploring.
- Summer (July to August): These are the hottest months, perfect for beachgoers looking to spend most of their time in the water. However, be prepared for the peak tourist season, which means more crowded beaches and higher prices.
- Early Autumn (September to October): The temperatures remain warm, but the crowds start to thin out, making it a great time for those seeking a more relaxed beach experience. The water is also still warm enough for swimming and water sports.
Regardless of the time you choose, Mallorca's stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and Mediterranean charm make it a fantastic beach vacation destination.
