'Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints...' I'm sure there's more but I can't remember it!

I suppose at height of season it's difficult to keep up with the hundreds of people who use the beach. I always go the Pine Walk end, just cos its nearer for me, and I love it, love it, love it. I've never noticed any problems, but that's probably cos I'm always hiding behind my rose tinted glasses!

We too use the Pine Walk beach, past the Bar Katy bit where the next lot of sun umbrellas are. We spend endless hours watching a rather well to do Spanish family who have a lovely house (in fact our apartment was located right next door so had a birds eye view into the house), they seem to have all the toys. We found the beach to be nice and clean we everybody making sure they tidied up around themselves at the end of the day, there was the odd cigarette butt, I would imagine these get missed by the men who come along in the mornings as they are probably being buried in the sand when people are putting them out. The beach use to be in quite a state firt thing in the morning from the spanish teenagers (I think may be older) who congregate on their late at night with their booze. On our last morning (Friday just gone) every single sunbed had been slashed bar two, the man who seems to be in charge of the sunbeds came along about 9.30ish and within 30 mins a van came to collect the damaged beds and 10 mins later they were back with some replacement beds, it involved a few journeys to replace all the beds but by 11.30 am it was all done, not bad service at all. Thought the beach was a lot busier this year than last. Only 50 weeks till we are there again, unless of course we win the lottery in the meantime

Default PP Beach Review.

I would have to agree with most of Timbermans comments. We to have just returned from 2 weeks in PP and spent most days on the beach close to the Pollensa Park beach bar.
The sea was crystal clear, except for a couple of afternoon when the sea became a bit choppy. I have never spent so much time snorkeling.
Yes there is a bit of litter but this could we rectified with bigger or more bins, especially with the coconut man doing such brisk business.
We did have the unpleasant experience one afternoon of finding that someone had not cleaned up behind their dog, however this was removed the next morning.
It would appear that you only have to mention such findings to the life gaurds and they react quickly.

Having just returned after 2 weeks in PP had a great time - but -
a) Beach near the Dakota restuarant was like a large ashtray

b)the smell was totally unacceptable

c)it's the first time I have seen such a regular presence of the Guardia who were regularly searching some undesirables

d)more apartments being built- I fear for the infrastructure.

PP is changeing but not for the better.

Why can't smokers who treat the beaches as ash-trays not simply treat their stubs as normal litter and place in the bins as they leave >: >: >:

Frank, When you say the smell was unacceptable, Do you mean the smell on the beach? Or the smell from the Dakota?

smiddy, I agree with you re smokers. My husband is a smoker but he manages to survive a couple of hours on the beach without a " fag"! Theres nothing worse than digging up other peoples rubbish on a beach when you are trying to build a wall to keep back the sea. ( didn't work for canute either)

Was in Lanzarote recently - notably a blue flag beach- where the sunbed attendants also cleaned the beach of cig ends and other litter with a childs fishing net - Very cheap but very effective. PP authorities take note.

Yes Pauline, the Hostal Bahia is smack on the Pine Walk, and you couldn't ask for a more superb setting. The Bahia is my favourite for wandering along to in the early evening, and sitting with a G&T watching the world go by. I quite enjoy the beach at this end. A lot narrower than the other side of the marina, and not so much going on in terms of pedaloes etc, although it can still get busy in high season. The water just quietly laps at your feet. Perfick!

Just back last week and the beaches in both resorts were spotless...also the sea in PP appeared much cleaner and clearer than previous years. Hopefully they'll stay as clean during the height of the season.

Cala sea was also very clean although there had been a storm the day before we went which had washed quite a lot of seaweed into the shallows.
