This beautiful natural beach is located in the Mondrago Bay, a bay of the same name, in the Mondrago Nature Park. It is four years prettier than the local beach coves in Cala d'Or.

There are turtles to discover along the way, which is a great motivation for children to walk to the beach and much nicer than walking along the road 😉

"...The route leads through the surroundings of S'Amarador and its wetland area. The almost circular route begins at the Ca sa Muda parking lot on S'Amarador beach. This route is characterized by its great biodiversity, as it crosses one of the few remaining lagoon areas in this coastal region of Mallorca. You can also experience the S'Amarador torrent and its pond firsthand..." https://www.illesbalears.travel/de/mallorca/naturschutzgebiet-mondrago#actividades
