Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni

Introduction

Welcome to Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni, one of those urban gems that we fall in love with for its perfect combination of accessibility, services and natural beauty. Located in the vibrant city of Palma, in the heart of the Balearic Islands, this beach is not just a stretch of sand; it's a meeting point, an oasis of calm and a hub of activity, all in one. For us, it's the ideal place for those seeking the convenience of having everything at hand without giving up the charm of the Balearic beaches.

From the moment we set foot on its sand, we feel the energy of the Majorcan capital, but at the same time, a tranquility that invites us to disconnect. Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni is, without a doubt, one of our top recommendations for any visitor to Palma who wants to enjoy the Mediterranean without straying far from the urban bustle. Its privileged location, a stone's throw from the city's main points of interest, makes it an unbeatable option for families, couples and solo travelers.

How to get to Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni

Getting to Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni is extremely easy, which is one of its great advantages. Its proximity to the center of Palma and the Paseo Marítimo makes it very accessible from almost any point in the city.

By car

If we come by car, we will find several parking options. Along the Paseo Marítimo there are regulated parking zones (ORA) and also paid underground car parks. We usually opt for the car parks for greater comfort, especially in high season, although we can try our luck with the blue zones if we don't mind walking a bit. Signage to the beach is clear from the main arteries of Palma.

By public transport

Public transport is an excellent alternative. Several EMT Palma bus lines have stops very close to the beach. It's a comfortable and economical way to get there, avoiding parking worries. We can check the specific lines on the EMT website, but the ones that run along the Paseo Marítimo are usually the most direct.

On foot or by bicycle

For those staying in the center of Palma or its surroundings, Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni is perfectly accessible on foot or by bicycle. The walk along the Paseo Marítimo is a delight, with views of the sea and the cathedral. There are bike lanes that take us directly to the beach, making it a very healthy and ecological option to enjoy the journey.

The sand and the water

When we talk about Playa de Ca'n Pere Antoni, the first thing that comes to mind is its sand and its waters. The beach has fine, golden sand, very pleasant to the touch, which invites us to lay out a towel and simply relax. It's the kind of sand we like for walking barefoot or for the little ones to play building castles without difficulty. Although it's an urban beach, the quality of its sand is notable and very well maintained.

As for the water, we find a Mediterranean of turquoise color and a transparency that pleasantly surprises us. The waters of Ca'n Pere Antoni are shallow and very calm, making it a safe place for bathing, especially for children and the elderly. The absence of big waves and strong currents allows us to enjoy a relaxed dip without worries. It's ideal for swimming calmly or simply floating while the sun caresses our skin. The cleanliness of the water is constant, a key factor for the beach to hold its prestigious Blue Flag year after year.
